Warmongering Putin showing signs of psychosis and hearing ‘voices inside his head’ after lockdown, expert claims
WARMONGERING Russian leader Vladimir Putin has been showing signs of psychosis and hearing voices inside his head after isolating during lockdown, an expert has claimed.
The tyrant has become increasingly paranoid over the past few months, holding meetings across an abnormally large table and fearing someone in his own circle could poison him.
The Russian President has been reportedly avoiding close contact with others and meets only those in his inner circle after they have been forced to quarantine in hotels for two weeks.
It is said that some guests even having to .
Putin has been isolating himself since the start of the pandemic which might have caused "irreversible psychological" damage and even led to his decision to invade Ukraine, psychotherapist Noel McDermott has claimed.
The experts explained that spending a long period of time in isolation could have a great impact on a person's mental health, cause their brain to become "broken" and even make them take drastic decisions.
He told the : "At the beginning of the lockdown, Putin isolated himself and stayed isolated from people even until this point. Even now, he is still physically isolating."

"His behaviour is totally antisocial and indicates somebody who either has a personality disorder, which is a possibility, or it shows he is extremely afraid and paranoid.
"One of the ways you punish somebody in prison is by putting them in isolation and people don't understand how damaging isolation is.
"It will cause irreversible psychological damage.
"It is so horrific what it does to people.

"If he has self-isolated himself, in the way he seems to have done, he's [Putin] going to be in a very, very strange psychological or distressed psychotic state.
"There are more and more reports of him exhibiting these behaviours."
The psychotherapist explained that signs of psychosis are "pretty common with lack of social contact" before adding: "The voices inside Putin's head would likely have become so much more real."
The claims about Putin's mental state come as experts have said the Russian tyrant fears he is going to be killed like Libyan tyrant Gaddafi in a revolution, amid he has “watched obsessively” videos of the late dictator being murdered in 2011.
Putin critic Yuri Felshtinsky told The Sun that Putin, who has maintained an iron grip on Russia for twenty years, is terrified that if he were ever to loosen the grip, he will have a fate similar to Gaddafi.
“Correct – this he knows,” Felshtinsky said.
“He’s bright enough to know that under normal rules, his system of government cannot exist. He’s not an idealist.
“He knows there’s no way he can survive unless he continues to oppress.
“The lesson that Putin will have learnt after the recent events is that he should control more and that he should repress more. And that’s what we will see.”
PARANOID DICTATOR
Meanwhile, experts have warned that the Russian leader's paranoid behaviour will lead to him being ousted in a "palace coup".
Intelligence analysts Dragonfly, who correctly predicted Russia would invade Ukraine, said Putin's cronies will see his “toxic” behaviour as a threat to their wealth and power so it's “highly likely” they will depose him.
It is believed the on February 24 may have been sparked by his failing physical condition.
And Putin's increasingly erratic actions in the war could indicate a man on the verge of a physical or mental breakdown.
The Russian President's physical change over the years has caused speculation that he may be suffering from a severe physical illness.
Body language expert Erik Bucy from Texas Tech University explained: "The contrast with the Vladimir Putin of five or 10 years ago - when he was much more energetic and erect - is stark."
His few public appearances over the past months sparked rumours about his heath as he seemed "bloated" and "weakened".
Intelligence sources previously suggested that his bloated face as well as his lust for violence may be caused by steroid treatment for cancer.
Earlier this month an investigation revealed the tyrant is “constantly” accompanied by a doctor specialising in thyroid cancer.
The theory Putin might be suffering cancer and Parkinson's first emerged back in 2020, by political analyst Valery Solovei who also claimed Putin needed to have emergency surgery.
