Needs some help from an expert

I find it really strange that there is an article of "Psychopathography of Adolf Hitler" and no article for "Psychopathography" in general. Is that the right term for what this article is about? I see it's been translated from German. But results on Google don't show much for this word other than old definitions and this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.21.97.251 (talk) 05:22, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's a good title. Perhaps the Mental health of Adolf Hitler instead?--Jack Upland (talk) 05:59, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for creating this article. Last year, I queried why Hitler's psychology was barely mentioned while there was a whole article about his sexuality. I was told basically that the topic wasn't mainstream. Yet we even had an article on his dog, Blondi!!!--Jack Upland (talk) 09:03, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Psychoactive drug use

There are two only sources backing up the claim that "Hitler regularly consumed methamphetamine, barbiturates, amphetamine, opiates and cocaine":

1. Nassir Ghaemi. *A First-Rate Madness: Uncovering the Links Between Leadership and Mental Illness* - This is a book by one man who does not specialize in World War II or Hitler or anything like that and lacks primary sources; in fact, the reviews on the book indicate Mr. Ghaemi fills his book with unreliable hypotheses.

2. "Adolf Hitler 'Took Cocktail of Drugs' Reveal New Documents", by IBNews, which is just an unprofessional-toned article whose only source is a National Geographic "documentary" on daytime TV. Even *then*, the article specifies Hitler was only given small doses of cocaine to clear his sinuses etc., which was a common treatment back in the day. Same goes for the other drugs. This is carrying the modern connotation that Hitler was shooting up and snorting in the alleys of Berlin.

I have tagged the two sources appropriately please fix these claims or find specific, reliable, objective sources on Hitler's alleged drug use.--Sıgehelmus (Talk) |д=) 01:52, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
