You diagnosed correct and I saw it straight up in 2016.

[@valmach1]

Outstanding Discussion.. Two weeks ago the moderator mentioned how they were (psychologists) were dismissed out of hand when they tried to tell the White House that Patient 45 was UNFIT... Keep pushing this channel.. Richard had it right from day one..

The failure to act by those surrounding an individual with narcissistic personality disorder is as predictable as the behaviours of the individual themselves. The behaviours and oppressive presence of the individual serve to extend pathology to those who surround them, and those who should act seem inexplicably paralysed to the outside world.

A perfect description of NPD, especially those who are caught in the horrific web of the malignant narcissist. Trump is growing more insane with every passing minute, it is vital he is removed from power without delay. It terrifies me at the thought of what he will do if he ever realises he has nothing left to lose.

[@SEATTLEPRO]

@@ginamilford7311 in our history, we have had several presidents with such a diagnosis. He is delusional and that is what is alarming.

[@ginamilford7311]

@@SEATTLEPRO The most frightening thought I have, if trump is this dangerous with his delusions, what is he capable of if he ever lost that delusion, it goes beyond my understanding of fear to imagine what he will do when he realises he has nothing left to lose, it’s a good thing I’m Optimistic that steps have already been taken to take away his most destructive capabilities.

[@tomx4254]

You are very brave, smart, and awesome Dr. Lee.

"Ill kick in the next" (100$) !!

[@CyberspaceCairn]

Thank you! This little bit of moral ground recovery has shown some benefit with my most alarming personal contacts. regardless of what happens moving forward, your tenacity and persistence has made a big difference in my world. Will continue to follow

[@galettimusic3837]

Thank you for the video. I would like to point out that evangelicalism plays a big role in the psychology of people like Pence and McEnany. These people see Trump as an imperfect vessel for the will of God. For these people God chose Trump. It's Good vs Evil. Logic is good for us, supposedly sane people, to understand each other, but it does not apply to trumpers and Trump's sycophants. IMHO

[@HappinessHealthPeace]

Most criminals say they "did not mean to" 😒🙄 come on SPEAK TRUTH WHAT ACTIONS DID trump DO CONVICT No double standard 🤬 Critical thinking needed ASAP

[@arialigi6391]

One thing which is imperative is ensuring is that this cannot ever happen again. It seems that the 25th amendment is not sufficient. Clearly unitary theory, the constitution, article 2 , requiring that a president MUST concede and further CANNOT pardon himself. As things are, surely he has too much power and this must be curttailed.

[@courtneyleeds]

Thank you! Thank you! Good work! First accountability, then truth & reconciliation... We support you!

[@jennifercuddy5663]

It really is toxic masculinity.

[@johntumpkin3924]

The World Mental Health Coalition is an important organization for public health practitioners, because it extends across borders and over oceans to connect public health professionals in the cause of mental health. Probably, current students of public health look forward to joining the World Mental Health Coalition upon program completion, if possible... Furthermore, the issues of problems and pathologies of power dominance affect all communities globally, in one way or another.

[@Madmen604]

Establish requirements to be President. Must not have a criminal history, must pass DOD security screening , must have political experience either civic, state or federally.

[@gail5553]

How do we protect the inauguration from trump and his followers?

[@SEATTLEPRO]

remote inauguration

[@1maggotbrain]

Very good panel discussion

[@gail5553]

Because of his dad.

[@arlenehutchinson9259]

What is the psychiatric process for dealing with cult members? Please have a conversation about that. Also how to cope with PTSD for the rest of us, the signs and symptoms. Thank you all so much for all you do.

[@SEATTLEPRO]

they go to recovery centers to get deprogrammed but it must be voluntary.

[@hazelangus]

@@SEATTLEPRO That's a tricky one. Cult members often do not want to be deprogrammed, obviously. Some do. I've heard of Scientologists who got out, still believed in it and wanted help, so it is possible.

[@valmach1]

Richard called the sickness of Patient45 years ago.. no one listened.. Well look at ya Now!..

[@harveycan5820]

Many did so. Dr Lee did and faced serious and unjust consequences. Her entire group saw it coming as early as 2016-2017. Here were ate now on 2024 and it's only gotten extensively worse re:Trump his followers, and the impotence of the system to constrain him.

[@Ryo-f1h]

Please please bring this back to the forefront in these dangerous times we are in!

[@gail5553]

There is a difference Sir, federal vs state big difference! Sorry Sir please don't use a drug attict as an exampl!e
