Is Trump a lunatic? In rehab I understood what kind of people are in politics, says Zantovsky
Several years of experience in a psychiatric hospital were a great school for the environment of politics and diplomacy, says Michael Žantovský, a former Czech ambassador to the United States and a trained psychologist. “I don’t mean to say that many politicians are basically insane, I don’t think so. But I definitely think there is an excessive number of what in psychology are called borderline personalities in politics.” The former diplomat explains that, unlike mental illness, which is treatable and has some development, personality disorder cannot be influenced much over a lifetime.
