As seen on Fox & Friends Weekend Therapists say there's been a rise in anxiety stemming from the country's politics, and it is being called "Trump Anxiety Disorder."
A report from CBC News in Canada says that 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.

Elisabeth LaMotte, founder of the D.C. Counseling and Psychotherapy Center in Washington, D.C., said that some of her patients feel "on edge" about Trump's decisions.
"It's very disorienting and constantly unsettling," LaMotte said.
LaMotte told CBC News, too, that even those who support the president feel isolated within social spaces or their families.
According to an essay written by psychologist Jennifer Panning, the symptoms of "Trump Anxiety Disorder" include "feeling a loss of control and helplessness, and fretting about what's happening in the country and spending excessive time on social media."
A 2017 poll by the American Psychological Organization also found that nearly half of its respondents said they were significantly stressed due to the country's political climate.

Exactly...
MAGAphobia is certifiable.
The nut doctors should thank Trump.
the doctor should tell them to “suck it up butter cup.” and come back in two weeks with another $200.
Did any therapists treat patients, who felt distress when Obama was elected??? Was it considered an official disorder?
Assuming not, then why would the election of a president whom one didn’t support, somehow be a certifiable mental condition?
And if it is, why haven’t we seen this before?
Being filled with anger and hate is not a healthy way to live. We survived 8 years of much worse with no health issues since we never had the rage these psychos have.
Political climate is less Trump than rabid leftists. But then I imagine those on government handouts are stressed with the thought of all the jobs created.
This is written as if it’s a bad thing. I’m loving it!
Stupid Hurts!
I’m just shocked the story is being presented.
Trump should beat them to it as his next upcoming rally:
“The psychotherapy industry loves me—we are bringing back those therapy jobs. They’re booked up for weeks in LA”
So that would mean that they’re a TAD bit crazy?
The only folks going to “Therapy” for derangement syndrome are lefty moon bats with Gub-mint insurance of one kind or another.
Most folks I know are toasting there good fortune and devine providence to be in the greatest nation the world has ever seen.
Roll MAGA, roll!
I’m thinking the R. Lee Ermey as the shrink, to the snow- flake on the couch commercial right now! Jackwagon!
And Presto! There it is!
