    So what happens when they are no longer able to maintain such a personhood ?

    So my penned thesis response starts with 'are todays global leader sane' ?

    I actually have 'bipolar-disorder' which was wrongly diagnosed as possible schizophrenia initially when 28, so i defo know what the definition of 'sane' means.
    Each illness has key differences when it comes to its symptom severity treatments which I found out the hard way via wrongly prescribed meds back then.🤯

    Craig Bellamy the Wales Coach has my illness as does Gazza the geordie footballer & Frank Bruno the boxer, also Stephen Fry & the famous writer Earnest Hemmingway suffered with it too. Craig Bellamy, like me, declined the automatic prescribed medication route by taking lots of disciplined psychotherapy help instead.

    When I see & listen to many global leaders I can see & hear traits that are quite alarming & similar to mental health illnesses I have come across & am aware of. The fact that some prominent people in powers use of recreational drugs & alcohol dependency is concerning too.

    Folks with bipolar-disorder generally alternate between periods of high & low moods, while people with schizophrenia typically lose touch with reality via experiencing hallucinations.
    My general mood was either low or manic & rarely 'middle-road' with the constant added distraction of hearing 'negative voices' inside my head to contend with all day worsening when in my late 20s.

    Eventual diagnosis was 'Schizoaffective bipolar-disorder' which can be difficult to diagnose because the symptoms overlap with one another.
    Treatment of it typically involves a combination of medication of antipsychotics & mood stabilizers. I chose the 'therapy only' method of psychotherapy & counseling via a specialist research team based in Cambridge England.

    My bipolar-disorder therapy is basically disciplined re-training of my mind 24/7 to re-focus & concentrate on the task in front of me, not easy going 24/7 for sure but practiced constant disciplined thought patterns with a healthy diet, no booze & plenty of physical exercise helped set my ultimate end goal to achieve becoming a Mum, all be it without the 'emotional ties' of having a partner.
    I am now 38 & 4 months pregnant & as a Leeds fan I defo need of a fix of positive results for emotional balance, for sure. 😂

    England did not offer me the relaxed karma I sought which I have now found around me in France to focus on mentally 24/7, of course this great forum of people around the globe who take the time to opinionate with me keeps my mind challenged & focused too. 😊

    Not saying my way to combat the illness works for everyone but if I can help some to better life alternatives then I am happy to oblige & maybe convert a few to follow LUFC too. 👍

    Human minds pump out 40,000 thoughts per day & are on automatic pilot & for many this leads to misery. If we do not take action to tame our minds then our ?mindstorms' will forever be dissatsified, forever wandering, forever jumping from illusion to illusion leaving mankind on course for disaster.

    So yes, i do query our global leader mindsets !

    Sadly, suicide is the biggest killer of men under 45 in UK, my notes state.

    1 in 6 people report experiencing a common mental health problem like anxiety & depression in any given week in England.

    Three quarters of common mental health problems are established by the age of 24.

    I lost far to many mates along my journey & know many today still struggling but help is out there you just gotta voice it first - just like in the second paragraph of this post.
    We do have a voice to use !


    Just saying
    Two books by Kahneman I think you would like MT

    Thinking Fast, Thinking Slow (the underlying work led to him and his academic research partner won the Nobel prize)

    Noise

    Sadly he died last year but his worked spawned the surge in behavioural economics.

    Nudge Theory is another interesting book - it was the go to book in UK government for a while - probably to the exclusion of getting the underlying message you are promoting right.

    You are not wrong about most leader's having illnesses. Hitler was evil but now most countries are run by dictators and their families.
    Some use the word communist as evil where in effect if it's used right it is the best method economically wise .
    Example Poland! you don't here many problems there violence protesting immigration problems so on.
    One top politician was interviewed And asked why we don't see many problem in Poland compared to the rest of the world? His reply we don't allow 1 musim into our country. But isn't that racist? We don't give a farke as long as our country is safe. But you allowed 2 million ukrainians into your country? Yes they are christians for one and hard working and pay there way no free lunches so to speak.
    As of suicides in Australia the amount of under 25 year old is crazy. It is not reported here in the media as it's a taboo subject so we never get the numbers. Here in my little town of close to 3 years we have had 10 commit it from various ages. And trust me I have been so close so many times as there is no help despite what politicians say. They spend billions of dollars only

    Criminals to take over the system and the ones meant to benefit get nothing. From child care to disability to aged care it's despicable how criminals are running rampant. We had one I don't mind saying Indians have taken over and run moist of the criminal activity anyway the one was deregistered child service provider and he and his wife moved on to the disability sector and skimming of it.
    I fear Totty nothing we say and find out about things makes it easier, gets more frustrating as the word corruptions in all levels and in all the countries in the world is rampant . The criminal factor is also caused by the same factors' as the worst off people the poor have no way to survive and they turn into criminals to survive.
    I'll rest my case on personal level.
    My dr Peter you can't go on like this you need help! I said which one disability support services? I applied 10 years ago with my than dr and still waiting to hear from them. Ohh that's no good let me fix that? Someone will contact you and make an appointment to meet you and discuss things! OK? I got someone to ring me and make an appointment which was delayed by 6 months after so many excuses. Finally one day she rang up and she said hi peter I can come see you today would you still want me to come? By than I was ropable, and said what sort of question is that as you had me waiting 6 months and ten years prior without a word and now you ask me i want you to come? You know what don't worry about it as if that is the help you offer I don't want it id rather die and hung up.

    Perhaps ask the dr. for a change of tablets, see how that works for you

    As for criminals running the system, you’re lucky enough. We’ve got murderers running ours.

    At least (until now) we haven't had p a e d o philes, drunkards , mysogynists and convicted felons occupying the most senior posts in the administration of the (supposedly) most powerful nation of earth (not for much longer given Putins ability to play the chimp in the White House). And we haven't (until now) had those same incompetents using insecure "open-source" chat mechanisms to slap each other (metaphorically for the most part) on the back for mounting a supposedly secret military operation to "take out" huhti rebels who wouldn't have the justification of targeting Red Sea shipping (of ANY nation) if it wasn't for the USA staunch support of the genocide being perpetrated by the IDF. Couple that with economic incompetence never seen before in ANY administration ANYWHERE in the world (include North Korea), the destruction of decades worth of international relationship building, and it's a wonder we still have a world left to worry about.

    The chimp has denied farmers in the midwest of funds they have relied upon for years via USAID payments, he has stripped the systems used to pay US Veterans of resources leading to delayed and denied payments of life-essential funds to keep those who have served the US at home and abroad alive, he has conspired with his cronies to cut medical aid programmes assisting those who life-threatening illnesses, he has terminated research programmes undertaken by world-renowned and respected organisations into aids retro-virals, and preventative therapies aimed at combating future pandemics. The USA is experiencing its biggest and most rapid brain drain as scientists and researchers leave for other countries where there skill and expertise will be rewarded and exploited, and I use that word advisedly. And last but not least he has made a mortal enemy of the biggest trading partner of the USA. Wake up , smell coffee.

    And its not just USAID cuts that are hitting farmers;

    "In an article published on March 25, Gellman explains, "At the end of this program's cycle in April, school districts will stop receiving the federal funding used to place large, bulk orders with local farms, including Moon Valley in Frederick County, (Maryland). The termination of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Local Food for Schools Cooperative Agreement program comes amid a flurry of federal orders intent on cutting government waste and unnecessary spending. The Local Food Purchase Assistance program, for food banks to buy from local farmers, also was canceled for the upcoming cycle that begins in December. Without these programs, the small farms that make up the majority of Maryland's agricultural industry stand to lose some of their largest customers."

    Define government waste and unnecessary spending.. on FOOD BANKS!???????? FFS

    I could provide a LOT more.
