As pointed out upthread, the guy offering the diagnosis is not a psychiatrist, but a therapist.

Ah, well it might mean that he's not subject to the Goldwater rule (although I'm not sure, they might still have to abide by APA ethical guidelines.), but he's even less qualified to make a diagnosis without talking to a patient then a fully trained psychologist. I think that rule is a good one. There are psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists of every political and religious bent. You can get someone to say that any politician is mentally unfit, so I put no stock in any diagnosis made in lieu of examination and questioning.

Edit: I googled the author of that article, he's not even a real therapist, he's a hypnotherapist from New Jersey. So you can pretty much wipe your ass with his diagnosis.
