I'd agree that mental cases are overrepresented in the extreme political spectrum, but would not support the claim that every extremist is a clinical nutcase. In my experience people with a "dissociation from society" naturally feel attracted to ideologies that claim there's something wrong with society. As the saying goes "Everybody wants to change the world, but nobody wants to change himself". A nutcase would definitely prefer to see society at fault for his own problems rather than conceding that he's the problem. This explains bitter Socialists who feel entitled to more than what "the capitalist system" grants them or rabid Xenophobes who blame foreigners for their own failings. But there's a lot of space between being a liberal and a butthurt Socialist or a conservative and a KKK member. Treating people with a different opinion as pathological nutcases is btw a very stalinistic attitude. Perhaps the psychiatrist has some issues himself.
