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.
Amanda J. Calhoun is currently a Viola W. Bernard Social Justice and Health Equity Fellow, a Diversity Equity and Inclusion Emerging Leaders Fellow with American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and an American Medical Association and Satcher Health Leadership Institute Medical Justice in Advocacy Fellow.
After 8+ years of Trump being in the political spotlight, I would think most "boundaries" have already been set.
Not to mention not using all of those products based on the evil Oil. All the Wokies should stay home in their unheated, non-electrified houses.
‘Don’t Fear the ....’
.
Don’t give them an excuse.
Psychiatrists performed lobotomies
Psychiatrists = Alchemists
the real dangerous part of this is
it leaves those folks...high and dry without support system.
The leaves them vulnerable to addictions, radicalization, and/or even ultimately suicide.
This is how bad the advice actually is.
Actually, what she said was “STOP CALLING ME, GO AWAY”.
