It's good to know a psychologist gave Jesus a clean bill of health 2000 years after his death.

It's not very well known but a medic in Roman times did a psychological analysis - or the ancient Roman equivalent - of Jesus while in custody and found him to be "in sound mind and spirit" despite his outlandish claims. This was documented about 20 years later by the famous Roman historian Tactius , presumably using actual records (Tactius is know to be very reliable as a historian). I'm assuming the modern analysis is based on those documents.

They also may have analysed independent (non biblical) historical accounts of Jesus's life (of which there are many - the most well known being the book "Of Loaves and Fishes - The Savior of Mankind" written by Ameer Tukad in 43 AD, well preserved because of the use of papyrus fibre. The book is currently on display at the the Phüktârd museum in Prague, Germany)
