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.

The daughter, in her 40s, of someone I know, pretty much had a nervous breakdown after DJT was elected That's rough. I believe there are people out there that do live in their own bubble. And when reality somehow finds a crack in the bubble, they can't handle it.. kinda like my wife around spiders and lizards.. no matter how small, she freaks, I think she's had a few mini heart attacks over tiny spiders in the house.. I have to almost choke TO DEATH ON MY LAUGHTER.. Its a serious brain snafu..

It’s obviously apparent it not a disorder rather an acquired ‘self- inflicted’ state of depression over loss that is characterized by the absence of any truthful knowledge or understanding about politics and/or policy issues....They analyze the issues in an deluded emotional (and even hysterical) way without thought...and typically react emotionally with overt hostility when confronted with the facts.

Elisabeth LaMotte identifies a ‘disorder’ then admits it’s “not a real” disorder??? So is this her way of drumming up more business for her clinic???

The Author , Elisabeth Joy LaMotte, is a Democrat....can’t find if she’s married to a woman or a man...at any rate link to one of her articles she gives a solution as follows...

“Taking action that directs energy....”Volunteer in a local political campaign. Participate in a political activity of mutual interest with a friend or partner. Reach out to organizations that represent your values.”

Of course, you have all these lousy lying Leftist Liberal Socialist Snowflake losers and depressed and have this disorder.

Look at the facts: These idiots know that with Trump as President they cannot get their freebie’s as they did with Obama.

The Democrats are losing LEGAL voters right and left because those people have seen the truth about the lies spewed by the left.

The democrats in Congress, there lapdogs in the media and Hollywood elitists are making fools of themselves and are being laughed at.

Just keep on, democrats, your just digging yourselves in a deeper and deeper hole, that you won’t be able to get out of.
