A psychiatrist from Chicago by the name of Paul Dobransky, who by the way has never met actor Joaquin Phoenix, has told the Los Angeles Times that Phoenix’s recent public appearances, including the famous one on the Late Show With David Letterman, show that there is something very wrong with the actor.
Dobransky has told the newspaper that Phoenix’s “socially inappropriate” behavior reflects some of the symptoms of schizophrenia and that his appearance, career change, poor hygiene and lack of facial emotion are classic symptoms of mental illness. “There is something wrong. And it’s beyond drug abuse,” Dobransky is quoted as saying by the Los Angeles Times.
This little public diagnosis has made Phoenix’s publicist Susan Patricola very upset, to say the least. She tells E! News:
“How absolutely inappropriate for a doctor who has no personal interaction or relationship with someone to diagnose them. And to do so in a public forum… Hope they spelled his name right. Another 15-minute ‘expert’ is born! Astonishingly inappropriate!”
We couldn’t agree more…
LOL.. oh heavens yes.. as if half the world isn’t speculating . You’d think they’d be happier to have him diagnosed as ill than simply being another moron with drug habit..
