Don't Call Him Schizo!

A rep for actor-turned-musician Joaquin Phoenix is super pissed that a Chicago-based psychiatrist/author called the bearded-one possibly ‘schizophrenic’ in an LA Times interview.
The head doctor, Paul Dobransky, pointed to Phoenix’s “socially inappropriate behavior” (i.e. new ‘rap’ career, bushy beard and his bizarre appearance on David Letterman’s show). The doc said, “The jury is not exactly in on what is happening. Whatever it is, it’s not funny ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ whether it’s drug abuse, mental illness coming on or the clumsiest attempt ever at a career change.”
Phoenix’s rep reprimanded the doc in an interview with MTV, saying, “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!”
Why won’t the rep just come clean?
Joaquin’s NOT schizo and this is all one big joke, right?
