Current Affairs Experts call on politicians to stop abusing psychiatric terms
Now what do you think about statements like these: "Mr XYZ is in a serious psychological condition" or "Mr So-and-So is psychotic? No, they were not uttered by doctors. Labels like these have recently become rather common on the Czech political scene, as politicians trade insults with great frequency. Now a group of Czech psychologists and psychiatrists is saying enough is enough. In an open letter to Czech politicians, they are calling on them to stop using psychiatric terms as insults in public discourse.
