Ending speculations, Presidential doctor says Trump's overall health is excellent

Washington: Just over a month ago, an American doctor has expressed his concerns over US President's mental health. However, ending all speculations, Presidential physician Dr. Ronny Jackson said that Donald Trump's "overall health is excellent".

He said the cognitive health of the US President was normal.

The physician shared the outcomes of Trump's health examination with reporters at the White House on Tuesday.

"I had no concerns about the president's cognitive ability," the physician said.

He said: "He mentally is very sharp, very tact."

"The fact that the president got 30/30 on that exam, there's no indication whatsoever that he has any cognitive issues," the doctor said.

On contrary, Dr Lance Dodes, a former assistant professor of clinical psychiatry at Harvard Medical School who now works for the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, had said Trump's a 'very sick man'.

Dodes told US cable channel MSNBC that the US President is psychotic.

"It’s another example of his being close to psychosis when he’s stressed," the doctor had said. "The simple explanation for it, which people don’t want to hear, is that he’s not in control of himself. This is what we mean when we say that somebody is becoming psychotic or is briefly psychotic." 

However, the Presidential doctor said that Trump is 'healthy' and will remain so for the duration of his presidency.

Trump’s periodic physical examination was performed during the month of January 2018.

As per a statement issued by the White House," The physical examination was performed and supervised by Ronny L. Jackson, MD, FAAEM, Physician to the President and Director of the White House Medical Unit."
