After Donald Trump won the presidency in November, liberal college students were pretty upset as they took part in cry-ins, walkouts, and marches. However, a psychiatry professor at Michigan State University believes that a lot of millennials upset with the election results are now developing mental health problems.

Dr. Farha Abbasi, who’s an expert on mental health post-election, told the Spartan Newsroom that for some millennials are becoming more anxious as they struggle with their identities while depression is worsening for others.

“Millennials are already facing a lot of challenges,” Abbasi said, explaining that between living during wars in the Middle East, a major recession, rising tuition costs, few employment opportunities, and crippling debt can really take their toll on mental health.

...rising tuition costs...

What nerve listing that as a reason for students' mental health problems. Tell your school to stop increasing tuition. No wait, that would cut into your compensation and benefits.

Funny.

They had mental health problems before the election. It is difficult enough to live in the complex world, but to live it without faith is hell.

"It is not only Millennials. There are a lot of Freepers whining and crying about Trump's missile attack on Syria. "

While rational arguments can be made for or against the bombing depending on how you view the situation in Syria and who you think is responsible for the chem attacks, I agree that it has been freepcipitating freepflakes around here since the missile strikes.

Public education is the cause. Progress can never be halted without damage to the delicate progressive psyches. It hurts too much!

The election simply exposed their mental health problems.

I was going to address each stupid assertion, but figured I would be talking to another doctorate degree that has over thunk every thing in life. This guy reminds me of Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory who is a math genius but knows nothing of real life. I never knew there is an expert on post election mental health. Is there a cure besides a whack upside the head? What next? Doctorates in Safe Place Management? Masters in Confused and Egocentric Psychology?

I'm thinking what is needed in every public school from grades 6-12 is: I AM WORTHY 101, subtitled NO I'M NOT A DUMBASS. Elective could be: I KNOW STUFF, and CARE ABOUT ME 102.
