The aftermath of President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive election victory last week has offered a window into the mental health struggles of Americans many of whom have been showcasing their personal meltdowns publicly via social media for the past few days.
Now a Yale psychiatrist Dr. Amanda Calhoun is advising MSNBC viewers to break off ties with family members who refused to vote for Kamala Harris and to tell them why they are being shunned.
Calhoun was a guest on MSNBC host Joy Reid’s program in response to a report that calls to crisis centers from LGBT youth had spiked by 700 percent following Trump’s win in the presidential race.
The Yale psychiatrist, whose school profile affirms that she “also specializes in the effects of medical anti-Black racism”, told Reid and her viewers that those aggrieved by last week’s election results should avoid their Trump-supporting relatives and tell them:
“You know, to say, ‘I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood, and I’m not going to be around you this holiday. I need to take some space for me.’”
Calhoun called it “essential” for people to establish boundaries for their own mental health.
The doctor has not explained how urging individuals to destroy their familial support networks over political differences equals sound medical or psychiatric advice rather than simply encouraging dogmatic behavior by equating one’s ideas with one’s livelihood.
Convincing those with mental health concerns that any form of disagreement is an attack upon their very existence, appears to have more to do with combining neo-Marxism and medicine than it does with healing the sick.
Oh please shun me. Then at family gatherings I won’t have to listen to my brother say, “Well, any thinking person would have to agree...”
What ever comes next I won’t agree.
Relatives are happy they don't visit.
One more reason to vote for President Trump:
It keeps your obnoxious, liberal relatives away.

Funny, I never took that course in college....boy did I miss out Amanda.
Psychiatry in the Ivy League is not recognizable to normal people. This ditz is carrying on a long tradition of unethical behavior and other forms of incompetence.
Political parties don't teach their followers to diss family members who think differently. Cults do that.
Political parties can't convince their followers to kill their own babies. Cults do that.
Political parties can't convince their followers that the world will end in a few years --- this time they mean it. Only cults can do that.
Political parties can't convince their followers to believe in so much double-think. Only cults can do that. By double-think I mean things like believing that all cops are evil, and only cops should be allowed to carry guns. And men are horrible rapists, and girls should be forced to share locker rooms with men. It's not a baby it's a fetus; yet the word "fetus" is Latin for offspring, not "clump of cells".
Fine with me.
They’re definitely on the downside
I think people are finally waking up to their idiocy
A good number of people; not everyone of course
YALE. Any more questions about how our higher education institutions are broken beyond repair?
Physician heal thy self
Break off ties with family members who refused to vote for Kamala Harris and to tell them why they are being shunned as a preliminary to leaving the USA for good.
You don't want to live in a country like that. Emigrate and never return.
Far too many in mental health are nuts.
Seems to me that with all the PTSD resulting from Trump's victory a psychiatrist's business would be booming.
Because they live in another state it was actually easy for me to do. But I don’t talk to my brother-in-law and his wife anymore not because I hate them but because they’re so stupid that it just annoying.
Perfect examples of when education and intelligence do not correlate
I have.
I agree. I want the left to know how angry and fearful we are (well, not necessarily fearful, but you get my point) whenever their satanic party is in power.
I’m already the Black Sheep
“”medical anti-Black racism””
Be on the watch for the use of a new term they’ve coined!
This is solid evidence that many psychiatrists are themselves crazy.
This is how you end up with crazy husbands killing their spouses, children and themselves over a disappointing election outcome (It just happened).
Don’t ignore your family members. Ignore kooks like this Yale shrink. She is trying to give crazy people an excuse to act violently rather than accept life’s ups and downs like a rational adult.
It appears they are. Less expensive Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up. 🤔😊👍. So much for ‘dei’ eh.
Yale sure has a psychotic psychiatry department. This is the same program at Yale that produced the psychiatrist Lee that went on an anti Trump crusade until she lost her job.
Dr. Amanda Calhoun is still in residency, which technically means that she has not finished medical school. She has an undergraduate degree in Spanish. She is a prime example of the DEI programs in med school admission.
