General Discussion

A group of Iranian psychologists, in an open letter to their American counterparts, has urged professional dialogue regarding serious psychological and personality concerns about US President Donald Trump.

The letter, signed by ‘The Iranian Psychological Society,’ calls for a scientific examination of the US president's behavioral patterns, which they say pose a direct threat to global peace.

In the letter, the Iranian psychologists question whether any mechanism exists within the United States to assess and ensure the psychological stability and mental health of the sitting president.

The authors point to Trump's "hostile rhetoric, extreme attention-seeking trait, lack of empathy and narcissism, impulsivity and delusional thoughts, disconnection from reality, disregarding others' rights, threats and insults toward other nations, contradictions, and antisocial and inhuman behavior."

According to the letter, these behavioral signs raise "serious concerns about his potential psychological and personality disorders, such as narcissism, histrionic, and delusional personality."

The letter further states that Trump "is not bound by any rules and, like a psychopath, has led the world into a pit of fire and destruction."
