Editor,
I am uncomfortable with the idea that our “President” is only crazy. I think his “crazy” is a disservice to anyone who has ever suffered mental stress. All of us are a little “off,” creatively so.
Dr. Eric R. Maisel in “The New Definition of a Mental Disorder” in Psychology Today, says, “Mental disorders are usually associated with significant distress [my ital.] in social, occupational or other important activities.”
Like living in an increasingly fascist society? Or watching civil rights, freedom of the press and fair elections disappear? Or seeing the environment further spoiled? Or watching his cabinet destroy agencies created for the public good? Or seeing immigrant children locked up in cages? Or still believing in the democratic possibilities of a compassionate and just society?
