Full syndrome---VERY full.....

Trump derangement.....During some of my career, got to work with severely afflicted mental health clients. Some of the saddest, albeit most delightful/likable cases, were those with solidly fixed delusions. Thankfully, these were rare, but only marginally treatable. Even using powerful agents, themselves causing serious side effects, often hardly worth the trade-offs, anyway, on the best days, ---traces of the fixed, untrue beliefs, remained. Think about it, oh ye astute CS addicts, most of these beliefs held large components of paranoia. So it were, ---Miss Jones, would you like to try this medicine, it will help with those intrusive thoughts? Some of the side effects might be irreversible. IRREVERSIBLE??? WHAT THOUGHTS?!?! As with most psychotic folks, luckily, the truly dangerous among these people were in a vanishingly tiny minority. One simply (with family/community help), saw them regularly, monitored for the thoughts/means of real danger, and kindly listened. Often, a hoot. Favorite patients. The beliefs were typically zeitgeist and culturally stipulated. Radioactivity in the early days of the Geiger counter, space ships during Flash Gordon days, and so on. Here's a new one, Hilary really won. And so, the two year, multi million dollar Mueller---alt left witch hunt is now over, apparently with no traces of collusion nor possible indictments. But the fixed thought patterns/behaviors persist. Front page of today's NYT fish wrap is highly diagnostic, Peebles. Also hardly dangerous, these dear charges, and wildly entertaining. And as with AOC dream time alt left think, might even enlarge the base---already itself closing in on 50%.
