Can neur -free people be involved in politics? To Ukrainian politics in particular?
You might think that someone seriously asks us about it. We really want to ask this question and hear the answer that we will not like?
Who leads us - wise people or crazy?
Supporters of the first thesis make a conspiracy correction: the wise rulers of the world are invisible, public policy indicates that state functionaries do not need intelligence.

Supporters of the second thesis-people with apocalyptic thinking-are faced with an annoying fact that the end of the world inevitable according to this logic is somehow constantly transferred.
Ukrainian folk spiritual studies provide for three basic markers in its screening: “fool/fool”, “bad/badly” and gender-neutral “out of mind”.
As in any classifier neuro -expanded, each spectrum of disorders can be more detailed. The wealth of the Ukrainian language and the creativity of public opinion guarantee this. Mentally you have already done it.
But we limit ourselves to the assumption that the first marker is classic “acute” diseases, in particular genetically determined cases of idiocy, the second is persistent, deeply rooted disturbances in character and behavior, but society for various reasons suffers.
Well, the third - separate vivid cases of atypical behavior, triggering society. That is, the presence of the mind is recognized. But in relation to a specific episode, people have strong doubts. We have not a convocation, then a marker, if not a session, then an episode.
Of course, society was missing in politicization, prone to hyperbolization, loves medical terminology as swearing and swearing as a diagnosis. And if consensus already happen, then this is really something bright.
In the popular history, the conclusion dominates: “Why a fool? - Because the poor. Why poor? - Because the fool " Here, it would seem, an optimistic judgment in favor of the evolutionary power of the mind. If not for a significant addition: "

Mind and education complicate thinking and slow down the reaction due to the need for moral choice and ethical restrictions. As a result, instead of 20 milliseconds of effective response, our neuro -economy slows us down until 6-7 seconds, and this is at best. The fact that public politicians are the higher, the more respected scientists are considered, I hope that it no longer misleads anyone. The need to coordinate the choice with others increases this time by tens and hundreds of times.
History is replete with examples of leaders with very strange behavior.
The most famous example is King Charles VI Valois, who believed that it was made of glass and can break - fifty of the documented acute attacks of aggression and hallucinations during life. In normal periods, he was relatively calm, but could not independently lead the state - the competing groups of the courtiers were engaged in this, which influenced the political split in France and the course of the centenary war.
Other historical examples-apparently invisible, hundreds of books are written about them. Of the Ukrainian, the monograph of Alexander Morozov “Political Psykiyatrai” (Kyiv: Alerta, 2025) is attention. Mental illnesses do not bypass statesmen, political geniuses, invincible commanders and billionaires that rotate the wheel of history. For their sometimes incomprehensible decisions and actions, there is usually no conspiracyology. But there is a banal human stupidity in the whole variety of its manifestations.
With kings and dictators more or less clear. They are not chosen, and the Marxist view of history depicts them by the embodiment of all the worst that is in human nature. At the same time, the masses in this paradigm are a bearer of wisdom, a model of morality and a charm of social ethics. That is, the standard of mental health.

Public criticism of a policy based on justified (or not) doubts about the mental adequacy of the defendants in the political process also speaks of the axis “We are they”. They are either villains, or bad. We are fair and smart.
Everything would be fine if it were not for electoral democracy.
Despite all the moral unsanitary conditions of political processes, specific characters fall into power legally - through the elections. And we always have a sociological distribution, a social section corresponding to the general statistics of the distribution of shortcomings and virtues in the population.
For example, schizophrenia in the world is common within 1% of the population, and, possibly, in some people's deputies we will notice minor schizotypic disorders. Paranoia is not diagnosed now - this is the syndrome of other disorders. And we willingly use both of these words to evaluate the activities of politicians - and, it seems to us, we fall into the point. But no.
A scoundrel or a traitor does not have to have any significant mental problems, rather the opposite. Proven by psychiatrists of the Nuremberg process and Hannoyenutt.
German psychiatrist Karl Leongard in 1968 introduced the term " This concept describes a feature of the character or personality of a person, when the individual features are excessively enhanced, but remain within the clinical norm. Accentations are not considered mental disorders, but may have common features with personality disorders and create a selective vulnerability to psychogenic influences.

And here, in fact, interesting. With the presentation of Ilon Mask, Grets Tongberg, Maryan of Bezugous and other media faces (you can delete someone yourself or add) people have learned the fashionable phrase “Asperger Syndrome”. This is one of the manifestations of autistic spectrum disorders (races). The through symptoms of this syndrome are a painful problem with social interaction (this is not introverts or sociopathic) and narrow focus on certain interests.
That is, if you see in all directions of a public person who comments on everything and diagnoses himself political correctly - wipe your eyes, it was not the dealership of the dealer. A person is fooling around, but definitely not a fool.
And we love such people (until a certain point). We definitely pay attention to them as extraordinary personalities (which is true) and assume that their vivid behavior is the result of creative work on ourselves in the name of good.
Curiosity for unlike us is embedded in us very deeply. This is an instinct for preserving the species - unlike the tribe can be a threat. And the instinct of continuation of the genus - dissimilarity contributes to a genetic diversity, survival of the species in changing conditions. Such instinctive curiosity is not necessarily converted into some action or even thought, but automatically distinguishes the object of attention among others. The mind does not take part in this.
In cultural anthropology, there is the term " The heir to the shaman in the tribe should have been a person with expressive physical, and even better - mental shortcomings. Such a person was considered chosen spirits, and his muttering meant a messenger of higher forces.
Obviously, the functions of translators from the divine language to the human was taken by representatives of the tribal establishment, since the authorities always know better that people need to hear.
The most famous example of a person’s use with a significant cognitive disorder is the story of Jeanne d’Arc. Modern psychiatry, based on the analysis of historical documents, suggests that this woman could suffer from partial (partial) epilepsy with auditory symptoms. This form of epilepsy is characterized by the fact that the attack can be accompanied by auditory hallucinations, such as the voices that Jeanne allegedly heard, as well as sometimes hallucinations of the audience. In her case, these voices supposedly belonged to saint, such as St. Catherine and St. Margarita.

Italian specialists from Foj and Bologna universities studied the protocols of the inquisition process and other historical evidence that confirm the manifestation of such symptoms. In particular, the documents indicate that the voices sometimes appeared after the blows of the bell - it is known that strong audiovisual stimuli can provoke epileptic attacks.
Jeanne d’Arc was used for their political purposes the Duke of Alanson, Jean de Polenzhi and Jean Orleans, other court, royal family of Charles VII, including the mother -in -law of the king. When she became unnecessary, she was handed over to the Burgundians, and they eventually simply sold it for 10 thousand livres to the British who burned her for heresy.
Justified 25 years later (Napoleon created the cult of it), and canonized in 1920, also for a political reason. Jeanne was from Lorraine (she spoke French with a strong accent), and the Lorraine after the First World War just returned to the third republic.
Back to popular spiritualization. When we call incompetence, ignorance, greed and unprincipled words that mean a person’s disorder or behavior, we, of course, increase self -esteem, placing ourselves an undeservedly high score in assessing our own mental health. There is nothing wrong with this, people are usually so arranged. If well -being improves from this, then let.
Narcissism is excluded from the DSM-5 diagnostic manual. Schizophrenia - too. That is, there are fewer terms, and more and more phenomena describing them. What was previously considered a disorder now becomes the norm and a sign of originality. An old joke that there are no mentally healthy people - there are unidentified diagnoses, today plays new colors. You can flirt with your neuro) and get serious social support.
But you need to remember the following. People with neuro -excellents are very rarely independent actors. When they sincerely believe in this for a moment in this, their career growth turns into a collection of brushwood for the Inquisition fire.
