In an interview published in Salon on Dec. 27, 2019, Yale psychiatrist and president of the World Mental Health Coalition Dr. Bandy X. Lee called for Nancy Pelosi to activate a 72-hour hold on Donald Trump so the state of his mental health may be evaluated by a team of neurologists, psychiatrists, and other medical professionals. As editor of “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump,” Dr. Lee has been sounding the alarm about Trump’s mental health for several years. She has worked tirelessly to educate the public and Congress about the threats Trump poses to not only the United States, but the world. Her group of mental health professionals and concerned non-professionals, Duty to Warn, has accuratey predicted every phase of Trump’s behaviour from the first day of his taking office, including his increasing lies, his attraction to authoritarians, his garbled speech, his physical breakdown, and now, their greatest fear, his ability to start a war which could bring the direst consequences on the entire human race.
Asked how such a mental health hold could be initiated, Dr. Lee stated that as a potential examainer of Trump, she herself could not make such a request, nor could any other mental health professional, because that would not be ethical. Dr. Lee recommended that a concerned citizen or group of citizens create a petition, as their status as ordinary voters would be appropriate auspices to approach Nancy Pelosi with this request.
Fortunately, a brave patriot named Teresa Simpson has taken up the cause and started the petition. You can find and sign it here.
Please sign this petition, share it with everyone you know, and throw in a few dollars to promote and support the outreach of this effort.
In addition, please stay on top of the petition’s progress through social media and the MSM. I do not know Teresa Simpson, but she has placed her name, her face, her location, her reputation, and her privacy at risk in spearheading this, and she will need our support as she navigates what is sure to be a much riskier world for her as word gets out to Trump and his minions.
Here is the Twitter thread, originating with Dr. Lee’s clarion call, that started the ball rolling. Please send lots of supportive energy and goodwill to both Dr. Lee and Ms. Simpson, card-carrying gutsy women who get things done!

This has been the most unusual diary I have ever published on DKos. In twelve years of posting diaries, never have I had one that received dozens of comments and NO recs. The commentary here is nothing if not feisty, and I especially thank those commenters who bring their experience in law, government, social work, and psychology to the discussion.
However, I must say, I am disappointed by how cynical and dismissive many of the comments are. It has been a while since I posted regularly, and I was not prepared for the aggressive tone of some of the comments. Perhaps it’s a sign of the times; we are all on edge these days. The DKos community continues to be my port in the political storm, even if my diary has stirred a small tempest of its own.
