At the same time we get control of the Donalds, can we please stop making them?? We know what creates Narcissism. We need to nurture babies and toddlers and help them learn to regulate themselves by co regulating them. This is a human requisite. If our society wants more mental health we need to support young families and help young parents to attach to their babies. If we subsidized early life the Heckmann equation suggests a 13% annual return on that investment.

But regulating babies and toddlers interferes with their Freedom™!

I had concluded that the Freedom Caucus and other election deniers were simply acting out a role in order to maintain their political status. That they have been "infected" with Trump's mental illness helps to explain the situation.

Presidents have regular physical exams, but not by independent doctors. I think they should be conducted by doctors responsible to the public, with the results made publicly available. The same for mental health exams. Nominees for President should be examined, both physically and mentally, before the election, and the winner examined yearly at least, with the results published in the news media.

Thank you Dr Lee. The dangerous contagion exists everywhere. From my vantage point it is alive and well in schools. Years of nepotism and white supremacy have resulted in the powerful to exclude minorities in leadership positions.

Absolutely! Frustrated with non-inclusion of Dr. Lee and comprehensive broad mental health like a topic that would be right in their wheelhouse. Wish I knew why NPR, PBS neglect this and Dr. Lee and WMHC. If anyone has insight please pass it along.

In the mean time thank you Dr. Lee for your long struggle to enlighten. I pass along this frequently. you are not a lone voice. pray

NPR & PBS are the ultimate in Establishment Media. They won't do anything to bother the powers that be. I'm sure many folks in media agree with us, but if they annoy the chair of Yale Psychiatry suddenly their phone calls will stop getting returned.
