5:00 - I'm sick of this tired line about how a clinical psychologist can't diagnose a personality disorder in someone without meeting them first when it's someone who lives their life so completely in the public eye as celebrities and public figures on reality television, politics, and social media. I could point to a few other people that exemplify this, but old Bankrupt Donny is probably the most easily diagnosed individual on the planet with all of his damage and disorders being rubbed in our faces like a puppy's mess on an expensive rug. We all know the emperor has no clothes - mental health professionals need to stop pretending like they can't say professionally what's obvious to the rest of us.

@gregoryhutto1963 While I understand the professional concern I don't think the same standards need apply when someone is going out of their way to live their life on the public stage. The people who are obsessed with being in the public eye are doing enough harm to themselves and the people around them that any social damage that might come from making a diagnosis is probably moot. I don't think that Donald Trump (or Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, etc.) would give a damn what some clinical psychologist has to say - especially on some lefty Internet show. But I also understand that it isn't about them but your own professional integrity that matters.

@gregoryhutto1963 Fair points all. These interviews are coy little games - I'll come on your show and dance and sing for the audience right up to the line of using diagnostic terminology but no, no, no - a clinical diagnosis is a bridge too far. I probably should stop playing if I think the game is stupid, no?
