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)

No. They all are psycho.
Sounds like most of them believe what their Profs pour in their mushy little brains. Then again I think they’re just stressed out squirrels. Great comment.
Ah. Too bad. I had the IRS send me 5 big fines all post dated to my birthday when that tanned Irish Ginny was in office.
They were brainwashed by their colleges.

PTSD: one of the most abused and over-used terms ever!
LOL!!

That was funny!
Totally fed to them by their leftist teachers.
They probably did. They have spent their whole lives getting their every whim met.
Good grief...what happens to these infants when they get a hangnail or fail an exam? That 25% aren’t going to live to be 30, if they can’t handle Trump winning the ‘16 election!
Only a quarter?I bet its more than half and the other half will go nuts after Trumps reelection.
That was great. I always enjoy watching the tears of the libs that night, but the joy of these college kids was much more inspiring.
I’ll have to admit that I had a couple of months of depression when Obama was first elected.
I managed to pull myself together and carry on with life, however, without the benefit of a “safe place” and without developing PTSD.
Didn’t know NPCs could get PTSD.
Geezer that I am, recall the same with the sink emperor.
those kids are headed to a lifetime of therapy, if we’re lucky. otherwise, we’ll be supporting them on SS/disability for their entire lives.
