    Unless real doctors accept this as a real illness, it’s just politicians jerking off.

      This is potentially a legal rather than a medical diagnosis, and if the legal system is sufficiently corrupted, it doesn’t matter what doctors think.

      Also, in previous instances (Bush-era torture, for example), the medical and psychological professions just went along. Nover underestimate the venality and spinelessness of professional organizations.
