I am not a forensic psychiatrist, and neither are you. But Dr. Lee is, and she has a wealth of material to make assessments from as Trump can't stop tweeting.

She cannot make an assessment based on tweets or TV or anything else.   She has to examine him, personally.  That's just how it's done professionally, like it or not.

Huh. When I googled forensic psychiatry, it clearly states that the forensic psychiatrist has to examine the person face to face. Not based on random tweets on social media. 

Forensic psychiatrists also give their opinions at criminal trials, which is not the case here either. Trump has not committed any crime, except that of being trump in the minds of some folks. 

So she is not qualified to make the "assessment" you say she is. The assessment that was claimed to be a diagnosis in other threads.

She would have the psychiatric training to mentally evaluate Donald Trump. She is a specialist in the field of psychiatry.She has gone on to a residency of treating people with disorders of the mind. This person can give their opinion but it would be best for a team of Psychiatry experts in their field to sit down with Trump face to face and do this evaluation and testing. But I do not think that Trump will ever agree to a psychiatric evaluation. I can see him sitting down with a doctor who has examined him physically and told us that Donald trump is in physical good health. I don't know if they can force him to get a mental evaluation.

I guess the guy who evaluated trump face to face is of no importance.

If a full-on psychiatrist evaluated Trump and found him not to be mentally ill, what you would say at that point?

He is of no importance because he didn't deliver the results that Trump's critics wanted.

I remember when doctors told my parents that my dad's lower leg would have to be amputated.   Suddenly, the doctors were "stupid" because they gave a report that my parents didn't like.   They ranted on about how dumb doctors are today simply because they didn't want to accept reality.

That's what we have, here.   Doctors who are skilled at their jobs are suddenly unqualified because they say that Trump shows no sign of mental illness.

If a full-on psychiatrist who graduated with honors and has been in practice for 25 years says that Trump is not mentally ill, they will argue that he was only in practice for 25 years, and someone in practice for 50 years would be more qualified. 

It's just getting ridiculous.

1)Trump asked for one.

2) I showed how her so called evaluations are not valid since it was outside the scope of her practice and outside the standards of her field.

So If Trump asked for a psychiatric evaluation then it will happen?

No, it is not outside her field. She is a psychiatrist. If she were an endocrinologist it would be outside her field.

It is of importance for a physical evaluation. That is not what the law makers are asking for. They want a psychiatric evaluation. That is very different.

It is outside the standards of her profession, though. The professional standards specifically delineate that psychiatrists should never evaluate a public figure and provide opinions without having personally examined him. Why would anyone trust the opinion of someone who is so blatantly violating the professional ethics that are explicitly described by their professional association and which they agreed to in order to become a part of that profession?
