Mental health therapists across the United States have noted a rise in symptoms many have come to associate as “Trump Anxiety Disorder, the CBC reported Saturday. Elisabeth LaMotte, the founder of the DC Counseling and Psychotherapy Center, said that since Donald Trump was elected president she has observed a “collective anxiety” among patients about President Donald Trump’s actions.
“There is a fear of the world ending,” she said. “It’s very disorienting and constantly unsettling,” LaMotte said.
Though not an official diagnosis, she said, the symptoms include feeling a loss of control and helplessness, worrying about what’s happening in the country, and spending excessive time on social media.
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, Fox News reported.
No Place For ‘Snowflakes’: Conservative Christian College Poised to Open in 2018
A new conservative Christian college – free from “safe spaces” and ‘snowflake’ students screaming helplessly at the sky is set to open in 2018.
Sattler College will, instead, focus on three c’s: core academics, Christian character and keeping education costs down.
Boston-area businessman Finny Kuruvilla, who founded Sattler, appeared on “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday to preview the new school.
“The modern educational system is too expensive, it’s academically weak and it’s hostile to faith,” Kuruvilla said. “These institutions are very resistant to change, and so we decided to create our own college in Boston, Massachusetts.”
He pointed out that the average student, after four years of college, is worse off when it comes to issues like pornography addiction, drug use, cheating and promiscuity. He wants Sattler to “focus on the whole person,” rather than just on GPA or college transcripts.
“It’s time for a revolution to get college back on track to think about character as much as it thinks about developing the mind,” Kuruville said, adding that because this is a Christian college, it will keep students “grounded.”
The college’s mission statement reads: “Sattler College seeks to prepare students to serve Christ, the church and the world. Our mission is to provide classical education that instructs the mind, discipleship that shapes the soul and inspiration that inflames the heart.”
Sattler College hopes to enroll about 300 students, with tuition set to be only $9,000 a year – a fraction of what most private college charge. The liberal arts school will have five majors at the outset: human biology, computer science, biblical and religious studies, history and business.
The school plans to one day expand into journalism.
Kuruvilla earned a medical degree and Ph.D. from Harvard and preaches at Followers of the Way, a small church in Medford, a Boston suburb.
Sattler College Founder Finny Kuruvilla appeared on Fox Business to discuss why the cost of a college education has risen and how his college promotes open mindedness to its students.
But of course, there was no such corresponding anxiety when the Kenyan Usurper was coronated by the Media/Demonrat Axis. Sometimes I wonder if the entire medical establishment is not just another tentacle of Demonrats Inc.
Very interesting remark. Thanks for sharing. I expect that the therapist community had a hand in the shift you mention, but I believe it has also been influenced and perpetuated by (such as) unionized public school teachers, community activists, organizations and government agencies purported to “help” “victims”, and so on.
You’re my kind of doctor.
Its simple and it always has been.. Know God, Know peace, No God, No peace.
Give them a pacifier and send them home.
I agree 100%. I might toss in the legal profession, who allowed numerous lawsuits that enabled the victim mentality, from fake/phony “repressed memories” (something that does not exist and is neurologically impossible unless the patient is brain damaged) to the “hot McDonalds coffee” case.
What the hell has happened to this country and what will it take to fix it? Another world war? 50% of the population seems to have become jelly spine wussy SJW types.

Prolly a graduate of the McMartin Counseling Academy of Therapists. They are taught how to pose leading questions to get the sap to agree to finally arrive at their political agenda.
make a list. These are the people who really don’t need to be owning guns or holding positions of responsibility over others any time soon. Self-identified freaks.
Uber Lib Bernie supporter co-worker literally collapsed her own immune system after DJT was inaugurated. So did her husband who works for an offshoot of the EPA
I don’t believe it is nearly 50%. It’s more like 30%, all urbanites who scream the loudest and have the media in their back pocket.
The daughter, in her 40s, of someone I know, pretty much had a nervous breakdown after DJT was elected. Ended up having to move home from NYC and live with her parents for awhile, until she could get stabilized. I would hear him on the phone with her, constantly trying to get her to calm down (even though he does NOT support Trump at all), trying to help her put things into perspective. I wouldn’t be surprised if she went on SSDI or something, due to the seriousness of her dysfunctionality.
Here I am at 72 years old, AND LIFE IS GOOD and have NEVER needed a therapist. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!
Good.
spoiled rotten brats who believe they are entitled to always get their own way and to never have to listen to anyone that does not agree with them and are greatly wronged if they feel offended.
To damn bad, grow the hell up or go live under a bridge, I don’t care which.
These are entitled ignorant idiots who can not handle the real world. Screw them, I have zero sympathy for them.
I hated Obama but figured out how to make money off of his policies.
Life goes on OR NOT if you are a lib snowflake.
Probably a fair amount of alcohol and drugs involved.
Good.
This co-worker ended up being hospitalized for a “non contagious pneumonia” She is approx 44 yrs old. Her husband was also ill but didn’t actually go to the hospital. They voted for “working families” party and Jill Stein. She was out for more than a month.
I noticed her looking more and more like death warmed over (which isn’t that unusual) she’s a birkenstocker type woman; wears zero makeup and has two teen daughters who proudly marched in a local BLM rally (in a small upstate NY town that has maybe 1% minorities). She also writes all her emails in the third person, replies to all EVERY.SINGLE.TIME and lives in a gated, lily white community.
Those “therapist” maggots created their meal tickets for decades by doing what you posted!
