Ridgewood NJ, Since President Trump was elected, mental health professionals in the United States have seen an increase in patients whose stress has come from politics.
A prevalent “symptom” of the “disorder” is feeling as though the world is going to end.
Before you start saying that this is the result of President Trump’s current behaviors, consider the fact that the American Psychological Association has recorded a rise in anxiety in the Trump era, with a five per cent increase (52 to 57 per cent) in politically induced stress levels over a six-month period before, during and after the 2016 election .
As previously reported on this blog Ridgewood has become a breeding ground for what is now called ,“Trump Anxiety Disorder.”
The American Psychological Association (APA) found in a recent online survey that stress levels following the election are the highest they’ve been in a decade. And the majority of respondents reported stress over the 2016 election and the future of the nation as factors.
The APA also found a correlation between stress levels and electronic news consumption.
Therapists told CBC that in recent months, patients have indicated that separation of migrant families at the border, the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and Trump’s various feuds with other world leaders have all been triggers for “Trump Anxiety Disorder.”
Fake News
Better order the extra supply of Zoloft Ridgewood…ours AND your president is around until 2024. Get used to it because there’s nothing you can do about it no matter how hard you try.
What’s the disorder for anyone being so clueless to think he won’t get destroyed in 2020?
Other highly positioned national-level Republican pols like Speaker of the House Ryan and Senate Majority Leader McConnell are blatantly biding their time waiting Trump out, undermining him every step of the way so they can survive his 8 year period of prominence and resume ripping off their countrymen once the U.S. Constitution has had its effect. George H. W. Bush, for example, was an early and enthusiastic “never-Reaganer” who, once he assumed office, quickly set about depriving the Gipper of the legacy he so richly deserved.
Destroyed by who?
So Bob…what was election night like for you?
Well Bob, it’s comments like that which lead to his current term. Keep it up pal.
Trump in 2020 /. ?♂️
Bob is what we call a classic liberal asshole who has absolutely no clue as to what’s happening around him…it’s his way or the highway regardless of the fact that Trump was elected as our president by a mandate from the people and the majority ruled. WTF don’t you get about that concept you communist bastard?
Just to interject a couple of facts regarding a two of the entertaining comments; 8:28 I guess Speaker Ryan is biding his time by not running for reelection this year and retiring from politics. 2:29, just to clarify, the president was actually elected by a minority of the voters because of the electoral college system.
Thank you 7:08. There was actually a rather big difference between the popular vote and electoral votes.
Yes,.
Thank you 7:08 and 10:53.
There is a difference… electoral votes are the ones that count.
