>>>
>>> Lay Understandings of "Trump Derangement Syndrome"
>>>
>>> There is no shared lay understanding of TDS, mainly because it is a folk
>>> category rather than a professional category. As such,
>>> there is currently much armchair speculation about the nature and
>>> existence of TDS, without consensus.
>>>
>>> The name itself explicitly suggests a "syndrome," which the Oxford

>>> this, putting forth suggestions about opinions, emotions and
>>> behaviors characterizing TDS.
>>>
>>> Shared amongst these is a notion that the everyday activities of
>>> President Trump trigger some people into distorted opinions,
>>> extreme emotions and hysterical behaviors. Well-known writer Bernard
>>> Goldberg gives supposed behavioral examples of TDS among
>>> Trump's political opponents, including fainting, vomiting, students
>>> retreating to "safe spaces" and others demanding "therapy
>>> dogs." Political commentator Justin Raimondo focuses on opinions,
>>> language and cognition, writing in the LA Times that "sufferers
>>> speak a distinctive language consisting of hyperbole [leading to] a
>>> constant state of hysteria... the afflicted lose touch with
>>> reality."
>>>
>>> Such forms of highly emotional reaction could be something akin to the
>>> fainting and screaming characterizing American Beatlemania
>>> in the 1960s. Unlike the Beatles, however, the extreme emotional
>>> reaction alleged to characterize TDS is not based on adoration
>>> and admiration, but on fear and loathing.
>>>
>>> Contrariwise, many others ridicule the notion that TDS is anything but a
>>> malicious slur term used to discredit and delegitimize
>>> criticism of President Trump. For example, CNN's Chris Cillizza may
>>> speak for many when he stated: "The truth is that TDS is just
>>> the preferred nomenclature of Trump defenders who view those who oppose
>>> him and his policies as nothing more than blind hatred."
>>> Likewise, Adam Gopnik writes that "our problem is not TDS; our problem
>>> is Deranged Trump Self-Delusion."
>>>
>>> In other words, there are polarized opinions about the nature, reality

>>>
>>>
>>> Conclusion
>>>
>>> The wider public may be unaware that psychiatrists and social scientists
>>> spend considerable time and energy behind closed doors
>>> pondering over the existence and reality of mental conditions. This has
>>> led the APA to revise the DSM five times since 1952,
>>> considerably expanding the list of official mental disorders with each
>>> revision. As far as I am aware, few psychiatrists are
>>> currently arguing that DSM-6 should contain TDS as a mental disorder.
>>>
>>> That said, in its official definition of mental disorder, the DSM-5
>>> states that "a mental disorder is a syndrome characterized by
>>> clinically significant disturbance in an individual's cognition, emotion

>>>
>>> Many have argued that some people have been seriously disturbed and
