GOP nominee Donald Trump has made some questionable decisions of late, and one California congresswoman wants some answers – medical answers.

Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., has launched a petition calling on mental health professionals to "publicly urge the Republican party to conduct an evaluation of Mr. Trump and officially determine if he is mentally fit to lead the free world."

Bass argues that Trump exhibits all the symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder as described by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association.

"It is entirely possible that some individuals with NPD can successfully function in many careers, but not the Presidency of the United States," Bass wrote in the petition, which currently has more than 10,000 signatures. "We deserve to have the greatest understanding of Mr. Trump's mental health status before we head to the polls."

Bass also included a hashtag with the petition: #DiagnoseTrump.

Some used the hashtag to spread awareness of the initiative, but many protested giving him a mental health evaluation for fear that it would perpetuate the stigma surrounding mental health and misrepresent people with those issues:



If u support a mental health evaluation of DonaldTrump, you don't actually support neurodivergent/mentally ill people. Don't #DiagnoseTrump — mutant princess (@IsaJennie) August 4, 2016

Mental illness is not Trump’s problem. His problem is bigotry, hate, and bad (and thoroughly American) politics. #DiagnoseTrump — Andrea Grimes (@andreagrimes) August 4, 2016

Bigotry is a choice. Hatred is a choice. Using #diagnoseTrump conflates behavioral choices with mental health issues, which aren't a choice. — Ultimate Oddball (@ultimateoddball) August 4, 2016

Do not #DiagnoseTrump - he's not mentally ill or neurodivergent. He's just another white guy with too much power. Don't add to MH stigma. 😧 — Ashleigh (@ProbablyAM) August 4, 2016

Don't #DiagnoseTrump and make him the face of any mental illness he may have. It stigmatizes the mentally ill who manage to not be vile. — L. D. Lewis (@ElleLewis6) August 4, 2016
