>I mean looking into his mental state is certainly not ridiculous I think trying to diagnose people with anything over the internet is a dangerous precedence. I think people are free to speculate, I just don't think it is at all productive. I mean, I honestly think he has some form of bi-polar but trying to diagnose narcissism because he likes the letter X and what it implies is crazy. It would be like me saying OP has agoraphobia because he has "obscurity" in his name. I could be right on both accounts but making diagnoses over the internet never ends well.

  >professionals No credible professional is going to diagnose someone over the internet based off of twitter comments.

    No one can officially diagnose without the person being a patient. Professionals will give opinions based on information available.

      Where is the word diagnosis or any semblance in my original question? Your response and the question it ostensibly satisfies are "simulacratic" it would seem Edit: professionals will give opinions as [is appropriate and they are falled upon to do so] No disagreement, lets do it here aha

        >any semblance You're asking a psychologist to do an analysis on someone based on their affinity for the letter X. If someone asked if any psychologists have analyzed you because of your comment implying liking the letter X is narcissism, I would call them out all the same. It would look like someone searching for a psychologist to diagnose someone just to confirm their bias. Hell, we don't even need hypothetical. Conservatives on twitter practically foam at the mouth to have a psychologist "analyze" Joe Biden and all but diagnose him with dementia.

        I wouldn't be averse to that both because it should be standard practice for the most powerful nation in the world to ensure its leader is of sound mind on a legally non-partisan basis and that there should likely be an symmetric-level of comittment for both parties to do so with their current "front-runners" to the same extent as their citizenship and place of birth are relevant to their constitutional qualification for office. If there's one thing I learned about dealing with a folks who have nothing but accusations (this is directed at the perpetrators you gave as an example) it is that they are frequently worst-positioned to be examined on the exact same material they use as a sword sans shield. They have no shield because they lack a defense beyond just fighting with their target over the sword, when they are inevitably challenged and parried easily Edit: also, I'm more asking what is a pattern of behavior with similar facts indicative of or what clinical observations or inferences can be derived on a facial level? Edit: Julius Caesar had the falling sickness [epilepsy] Rome had a right to know that and take it into consideration as part of the populace's/Senate's delegation of all or most of State authority to this one impresdive and well-financed man Edit: most importantly, your prose is a little bit like a prism with light being refracted into a house of mirrors that are being infinitely recursively reflected on a concave trajectory

    We are not talking about a remote diagnosis we are talking about studying. Seemed rather simple to understand but I guess not.

      What is the difference, in this context?

        > What's the difference Between a pattern or course of behavior and the person carrying out the behavior? I would say that someone's public actions and remarks are not subject to therapist-patient privilege and that it is completely acceptable and defensible to look at a pattern of behavior and its dicrete component actions and derive conclusions for that based on similar and previously observed behavior from other anonymized and representative patients via case studies and clinical observations.

  There's a lot of people who are answering a question that doesn't exist at the expense of the question that does exist and is consequently the only relevant matter here on which to respond. The hallucination I'm seeing rivals nay overshadows that of ChatGPT. Maybe I should ask "them"

I'd like to hear more about this `obscurity`-agoraphobia connection, to be frank... [raises glasses/pencil and rests notebook] Seriously, I need this right now
