I ran into this man while watching a political video and while he seems like a jerk I think he's acutely psychotic or manic in these vids. I apologize if this is inappropriate but I think this videos are funny, but subsequently felt bad when I thought he's probably sick. NSFW:

This is same argument mid-levels, chiropractors use. What a crock.
 
I see what you mean, but I'm pretty sure 'controversial minister, who rants whilst standing at a pulpit' isn't actually part of the diagnostic criteria for mania or psychosis. :thinking:

You're just jealous you can't do OMM.
 
I think of it as free community theatre. Have you ever had that problem where you need a private airplane because demon pleebs are agitating your spirit?

 
It's at least against the AP(sychiatric)A's ethics code to comment on a public figure's dx or potential dx. Though it is interesting when you recognize psychosis, mania, or personality (esp. cluster A) pathology intersect with the real world. Can I admit that I like watching reality TV now and again? Sometimes you see an obviously psychotic or (also) manic person blowing cash or being provoked into fights, etc. Sad. Were I in a different business, I would just turn down those customers, although I can't say that the reality TV hosts are generally experts in or models of healthy human behavior, either.
