Report: Quarter of millennial students exhibited PTSD symptoms after Trump's election
The Washington Examiner ^ | October 22, 2018 | Diana Stancy Correll

A newly released psychological study shows that some students are exhibiting symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder following the 2016 election.

The study revealed that of 769 students at Arizona State University studying psychology in January and February 2017, 25 percent of them reported experiencing “clinically significant” levels of stress after completing a psychological assessment known as the the Impact of Event Scale.

The assessment, which had been adjusted to take into account the 2016 election, indicated that students’ average stress score was similar to those of witnesses of a mass shooting seven months after the incident.

“What we were interested in seeing was, did the election for some people constitute a traumatic experience?” lead researcher Melissa Hagan, an assistant professor of psychology at San Francisco State University, said in a statement. “And we found that it did for 25 percent of young adults.”(continued)

Hmm

Wonder how many combat vets suffered setbacks after Obama got in. I know it was deeply disappointing knowing how he hates us

They need to be worried about going to class, learning the material (if it is real stem stuff), and aceing the tests.

Otherwise they need to join the Folk Song Army.

thats what happens when kids are pumped full of lies and not shown how to deal with loss or rejection of their desired outcomes. It’s a major shock to their systems.

So, at least 25% of psychology majors are crazy.

Wow, the first time the millennials didn’t get their way and it results in PTSD. It sucks to be them because they are so weak. I recommend that the distressed ones put plastic bags on their head and meditate.

They were educated ignorant, raised stupid, they have no sustainable sustainability, gender challenged, and with the IQ of squirrels. I feel a little bad degrading squirrels but they don’t exhibit PTSD. The squirrels, I mean.

I read of multiple career guys holding off retiring as they did not want Hussein’s signature on the papers.

Some time ago I looked at what were commonly called snowflakes and found there to be two main types: types 1s are the weepy fragile safe space seeking types; type 2s are the opportunistically offended, who are actually aggressive in being offended, Islam is an example of one environment that breeds these.

Type 2s mobilize type 1s. Type 1s can be the tall grass type 2s hide in.

There was more but that’s the short-short version. Predictably Leftist over at Hannity reacted by reapplying the term to merely anyone offended, or simply disagreeing with the Left, so I must have struck a nerve.

I think the “real world” when seen through the unreal lenses of a Leftist ideology may help transform type 1s into near type 2s ... they still need to be directed like if running sheep across a minefield but their fragility is no issue for those who would use them up because they are expendable.

If this is both true and representative we are in BIG trouble as a nation.
