[nothingshocksmeanymore]

Since we now know video is sufficient to diagnose, let's let our in house mental health professionals offer their best diagnosis of George Bush and various other prominent Republicans.

Who knows? Maybe this thread will end up in Demopedia for future reference :D

1. He's in a persistent vegetative state

called Texas. :o

[Bouncy Ball]

2. HEY now.

[BurtWorm]

4. Would you believe a persistent vegetative family called Bush?

:bounce:

[Bouncy Ball]

10. Ok!!! Much better!

After all, he's from Connecticut. I know other people from Connecticut, really hate that fact, but there ya go.

3. Sociopathic personality

It's hard to give one diagnosis to a whole group of people, but I'd say it's pretty safe to diagnose Dim Son as a psychopath or sociopath. Based on some of his Bushisms, I'd guess there's something organic going on in there, too.

On edit, I have a psychology degree, but I've never practiced.

12. ?

"Based on some of his Bushisms, I'd guess there's something organic going on in there, too."


Do you mean like he's some kind of fundie pod person?

[wryter2000]

13. He clearly has some kind of language deficit

I think his father had it, too. I'm no expert on that stuff, though.

5. mean mom

sometype of Axis 2 stuff. Never did anything right. To much power and he is controlled by others.. Maybe a bit of damage from the booze and coke

6. I've know enough to say...

Bush suffers from Megalomania, Depression, plus other forms of instability.

Bush is on a conquest to make some case for fame, his life is marked with failure after failure, and something that will make him comparable to his father would make him happy. Bush basically wants to be immortalized.

Bush is the sickest of his Administration. I am not speaking as an Anti-Bush person but as a person who is concerned when I say that:
"Bush's mental problems put our country in danger"

7. Anti-Social Personality?

[dutchdoctor]

8. Korsakov syndrome, dyslexia, Bell's Palsy, to name but a few n/t

[Avalux]

9. They are a cult

They worship power.

A few characteristics of a cult:

The group is focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment.

The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.

The group is preoccupied with making money.

Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.

The group has a polarized us- versus-them mentality, which causes conflict with the wider society.

The leadership induces guilt feelings in members in order to control them.

11. Dumbass Disorder ,NOS/Polysubstance Abuse (in remission?)....

He is too stupid to have antisocial personality disorder. It has taken him years to sound somewhat coherent. Antisocial personalities are cunning, charismatic, manipulative, often have above average intelligence. The antisocial personalities work behind the scenes in the Bush administration. Bush just sits there, like a puppet on strings.
