A doctor who served as a witness at Alex Jones’ custody trial on Wednesday said that the popular right-wing conspiracy theorist had been diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

While being cross-examined by Bobby Newman, the attorney for ex-wife Kelly Jones, Dr. Alissa Sherry acknowledged that Alex Jones had NPD, a psychological disorder that the Mayo Clinic describes as a condition where people have “an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others.”

Sherry, who served as the case manager for Jones’ family therapy sessions, testified that a diagnosis for NPD was present in Jones’ case file when she first started working with him. She also said that Jones’ narcissism might explain an incident in which he yelled at his own daughter for wearing a special walking boot on her foot after she broke her toe.

Elsewhere in her testimony, Sherry confirmed that Jones would regularly take off his shirt during therapy sessions — and she said it was the only time she could recall a patient stripping off clothes in the middle of therapy.

Jones is currently in the middle of a bitter battle with his ex-wife over custody of the couple’s three children.​

Notably, this expert was not one retained by his wife. She was a neutral, which lends it more credibility. Then again, how much do you have to listen to this douche before it becomes apaprent that he's a narcissist, among other things?

It won't bode well for him in his custody battle. If I was his wife's attorney, I'd argue aggressively that a pathological narcissist is unfit to raise a child. There's loads of literature out there like this:

I am personally shocked at the breach of doctor-patient confidentiality. Did Alex waive or was she court-ordered? And if so, damn. It's not like he couldn't have an independent evaluation for NPD by a forensic psychiatrist/psychologist without an a priori expectation of confidentiality.

As a side note, it's not spelled out but I assume the implication of taking off his shirt is that he was completely topless. That is a boundary violation that demands attention.

Edit: neutered my last response there. I have only media report of his treatment and should not have gone as far as I initially did.

So which is he? An actor who let down his cult followers, or the messiah they always hoped him to be?
Getting mixed signals here.

Alex who?

Alex Jones is a clown not worth crowing over. His credibility is about as low as you can go.

oh really, is that why he has such a large audience of alt right Republicans who have been following him for years.

oh yeah, don't forget that includes Donald Trump.

sounds like you are in the same bed as them and are just trying to distance yourself to be honest.

No, it is simply convenient to imagine anyone who doesn't agree with you as an idiot like Alex Jones. Guys like you simply are cognitively unable to imagine anyone thinking differently. I've literally never watched more than 30 seconds of Alex Jones, if that.

ok, that explains the problem, you have no clue about Alex Jones or how big his audience really is yet you are quick to judge his credibility without fully grasping his actual reach.

btw, i didn't say you were an idiot like Alex Jones, you did.

the problem here isn't "guys like me", it is indeed idiots like you.

Sounds like a standard politician.
