It´s weird… I think its one of the less likely profession for us (which I consider a good thing) to have.
There are a lot of qualities you need to be one that are the polar opposite of the way we sz/sza behave.
I think the job is more suited for psychopaths.
What are your thoughts?
I don’t know but I do know I’d never want to be one especially during these wartime etc etc.
It’s a mad crazy difficult job.
And I’d feel target of persecution and such.
It wouldn’t be great for my paranoia.
I don´t agree! It can be a difficult job, but you can live without lifting a finger, if you have the right qualities/will to do so/ luck
Don’t see why not.
Can you lie while keeping a straight face?
That’s the main job requirement.
Hhmmm no I can´t. I would have a laugh attack if I know I´m straight up lying.
I think you need to lie to yourself first, until you believe the bullcrap you are preaching.
Of course, technically they could. I think it’s likely that the opposing campaign would smear the living tar out of the person running with this information , though, and a victory would be unlikely.
Of course, but we cannot let this information go public. It´s personal life, and you don´t need to share it.
It’s not easy to hide personal information like this in a public political campaign, IMO. They spend lots of money and dig deep into your personal affairs. If you made one post on social media or an acquaintance comes forward or whatever, they would jump all over it. But , I suppose it’s possible to hide.
You got that right
Here’s a lesson on mental illness and politics.
Woah, that is pretty interesting.
If you’re running for a high profile, high power political office, you cannot hide a mental illness. Like it or not, it’s something that is totally pertainent and relevant to holding a high position in the most powerful country in the world. It may not be fair that it stops you from running for vice president or president but that’s the way it is and in this day and age it will be found out eventually. The way things are run, there are certain things that that the public wants to know about a candidate and unfortunately if you’re going to run for office they’re going to put your personal life under a microscope.
I think the high pressure nature of the job would not be a good mix with the symptoms of sza.

Hahaha, you don’t need to be mentally sound to be a politician anymore that ship has sailed.
Schizophrenia in particular though? I would imagine it would be hard unless you were recovered to the point where you’re considered to be in remission or to have “residual schizophrenia.”
Is residual schizophrenia still a thing or did they change it?
It is my impression that Eagleton was open with his constituents. They all knew he had shock treatments.
It is McGovern that I fault.
To be a leader you need to offend few… Will one be able too… Is the main question…?
Kanye West wants to be president. So, some people with psychosis try.
Vote for San-Pedro to be president
I doubt he was open about his depression until it came to light during the 1972 presidential election. If it was common knowledge before 1972 he never would have been picked as a running mate in the first place. It was a total surprise to McGovern that Eagleton had shock treatments and under the circumstances he had no choice but to drop Eagleton as a vice presidential candidate.
After he was rejected for vice president, yes, everybody knew, and despite him having shock treatments in the past, he still held office as a senator from Missouri for another fifteen years after 1972. Nowadays, there’s a senator who is on prozac and a state treasurer for Texas who is a recovering alcoholic so some things about mental health have changed. Abraham Lincoln suffered from depression (or melancholia) and most likely would not have been elected for president if he was running in modern times because of it.
Politicians must have very good reasoning skills and excellent argumentation abilities.and in my country case plus has to be strong bloodties.so none of them available for me
