Episode 08: Hindsight, Pt. 2

The infograph was taken from Verywell Mind, an online resource that provides the guidance and information needed to improve your mental health and find balance.

It shows some of the traits of Schizotypal Personality Disorder which doctors diagnosed Bergdahl with: lack of close friends, bizarre behavior, paranoia, and social anxiety.

Dr. Michael Valdovinos, a clinical psychologist, who helped reintegrate Bowe right after his rescue also spoke about how accurate his diagnoses is.

 

Despite this diagnosis, the army prosecutor, Major Margaret Kurtz, read a key point from the psychiatrist, Dr. Lang’s, report, “that in 2009, at the time of the alleged criminal misconduct, the accused was able to appreciate the nature and quality and wrongfulness of his conduct.”

In other words, mental illness or no, Bowe should be held responsible for his actions.
