Manhattan-based psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert told Fox News on Friday that "Trump Derangement Syndrome" (TDS) is a real psychological issue he has seen firsthand in his practice, with three-quarters of his patients exhibiting symptoms.
During an interview with "The Faulkner Focus," Alpert said patients have come into his office exhibiting symptoms of mental distress stemming from their fear or anger toward President Donald Trump.
"This is a profound pathology, and I would even go so far to call it the defining pathology of our time," Alpert said.
TDS is a term generally used by Trump supporters to disparage what they view as hysterical or irrational critics of the president.
Alpert described some of the symptoms he’s observed in patients he believes are suffering from TDS.
"It doesn't take long for me to pick up on this: people are obsessed with Trump, they’re fixated, they’re hyper-fixated on Trump. And they talk about some of the features of this disorder — they can’t sleep, they feel traumatized by Mr. Trump, they feel restless," he said.
"I had one patient who said she couldn’t enjoy a vacation because anytime she saw Trump in the news or on her device, she felt triggered," he added.
Alpert explained that for these patients, the mere mention or image of Trump triggers intense mental distress.

"Call it ‘obsessive political preoccupation’ — an obsessive-compulsive spectrum presentation in which a political figure becomes the focal point for intrusive thoughts, heightened arousal and compulsive monitoring," Alpert added.

Great list!
Good News! Mamdani is coming. He will fix all that, for sure. No kidding. Seriously. (sarc /off)
You would have to be in therapy if you were treating people who had PTSD from a white privileged childhood just after treating a patient who has PTSD from an IED in Iraq.
I was asked to go into the ministry when I retired (who asks?) and I told them that my counseling would consist of telling people to get over themselves and learn to be thankful.

I just love your selections when you post them… This is a great adjunct to Pookie’s Toons, which I read every day… :-)
Good ones.
Do they ever mention specifics besides Roe?
Thank you!
The Decline of the West by Spengler
An astute older book by a somewhat novice
That should ignite the entire city and cause a melt down.
No woman is less than a "4" crazy ...
They are prone to therapy
It’s like church
The therapist Alpert is tribe identity at least
I see a Christian therapist former Miss KY once a month
She prays for me
Money well spent
It’s a sounding board and devoted Christian support from someone more devout than myself
She’s a former Catholic become covenant Protestant
Spread ’em around!
Women have since inception had more apparent surface emotional issues than men
The modern cargo of convenience and security and luxury in western life has made it all common and apparent
I’ve watched almost 70 years of social interaction women the source of the vast majority of conflict or drama
It’s just life they can’t help it
They used to have more distraction and responsibility at home
Work or career as they call it frequently doesnt do the trick
Being a victim is an asset like a bargaining chip to them
For a man it means you’re soft
That is a major reason leftism appeals to them plus many prefer the state over depending on a man
I blame all of this and feminism more than any single factor for the decline of the west though crazy “non white” immigration legal more than illegal is a close second
After that probably dads soiling daughters middle and upper middle class and instilling unrealistic expectations
And they choose dogs and the state
You really have to start at home to rebuff the almost lock the left has on institutions and media
Parents who don’t get culture and western civ often fail despite their own views being “well I vote republican”
Young men and women are so divergent in all races but especially the white race
When I grew up maybe last generation girls were like there moms except less chaste we were 90% on the same life wants trajectory
I feel for young men
I saved ‘em, but next time, just send me a link to the message instead of pinging me.
