Lawmakers concerned about President Donald Trumps mental state summoned Yale University psychiatry professor Dr. Bandy X. Lee to Capitol Hill last month for two days of briefings about his recent behavior.
In private meetings with more than a dozen members of Congress held on Dec. 5 and 6, Lee briefed lawmakers all Democrats except for one Republican senator, whom Lee declined to identify. Her professional warning to Capitol Hill: Hes going to unravel, and we are seeing the signs.
In an interview, she pointed to Trump going back to conspiracy theories, denying things he has admitted before, his being drawn to violent videos. Lee also warned, We feel that the rush of tweeting is an indication of his falling apart under stress. Trump is going to get worse and will become uncontainable with the pressures of the presidency.

I know people aren't supposed to be diagnosed from afar, but a prominent politician like trump is readily observable from TV and his tweets are a window to his dark soul. I have no problem listening to the thoughts of professional psychiatrists.
