US President Donald Trump suffers from paranoia and is prone to attacks of hallucinations. It is dangerous for society, and decisions made by the politician may pose a threat to the country. To such conclusions came a group of psychiatrists from the Yale School of Medicine.

The health of the head of the White House was discussed at the conference in Yale, reports RT. Many of its participants expressed the opinion that Trump suffers from a "severe mental illness". Therefore, they considered it their duty to warn the public about the problem. The main critic of the president was John Gartner, a practicing psychotherapist at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

In his speech he accused Trump of lying and inadequate perception of reality on the basis of his statements that at the inauguration ceremony in January this year, the largest number of viewers in history. Meanwhile, in the media and social networks previously published photos, which compared the commencement ceremony of Trump and Obama. Judging by them, to gawk at the previous president, more people gathered.

"He is not just a liar and narcissist, he is prone to paranoia, hallucinations and megalomania, which proved to the whole country on the first day of his presidency. If Donald Trump really believes that the biggest crowd in history has gathered in his support, it's a hallucination, "Gartner said at the conference (his words are quoted by The Independent).

Some of his colleagues made conclusions about Trump's mental problems, relying on his own experience of communicating with patients of this kind. "I have worked with some of the most dangerous people that have ever appeared in our society. So I can recognize the threat per mile. You do not need to be an expert in this field and spend 50 years studying it to understand how dangerous this person is, "said James Gilligan from New York University.

Putting Trump "the diagnosis on the Internet," American psychiatrists violated their own rule, forbidding them to make diagnoses to public people whom they did not personally examine. Such a ban was introduced into the Code of the Association of American Psychiatrists in the mid-60s, after the scandalous case of Sen. Arizona Barry Goldwater. At the height of the presidential campaign of 1964. At the congress of psychiatrists, it was discussed whether the senator was adequate enough to become the head of state. Results of the discussion was published by The Fact. As a result, Goldwater's reputation was dampened, and he lost the election to Democrat Lyndon Johnson. Subsequently, the politician sued the journal for a large sum for libel, and psychiatrists refused to deal with such things in the future.

Not inadmissible remote diagnosis of patients and indicate Russian doctors. "It is impossible to diagnose a person who, under certain circumstances, behaves in one way or another. To accuse a person of having any kind of mental deviations without having an appropriate clinical picture of communication and treatment is wrong, "said psychotherapist Sergei Nurislamov.

Psychologist and political analyst Stanislav Byshok noted that American doctors allowed a free treatment of arguments and an unprofessional approach to the problem. To make such judgments it is necessary first to spend a long time alone with a person, to communicate with him, to conduct testing.

"If you are a graduate psychiatrist, and you have a prejudice against a particular person, then, of course, you can sharpen his character traits for the sake of red tongue and point out that these are already some psychopathic or disorderly traits. But it is extremely unprofessional for them to call the president of the country psychologically, "- said the expert.

Previously, American psychologists have repeatedly stated about the mental imbalance of Trump. In February, three dozen scientists wrote a collective letter to The New York Times, in which they expressed their doubts about Donald Trump's ability to govern the state. "The speech and deeds of Mr. Trump testify to his inability to accept a different point of view, which leads to outbursts of anger. People with such characteristics perceive reality through the prism of the mental state, "- said in the message. Another time, the president was called a dangerous narcissist who would build in America a cult of personality in order to amuse his ego.
