Think people are losing their minds over President Trump? Maybe it’s not all in your head.
The American Psychological Association is holding its annual convention in San Francisco, and there are no fewer than 15 symposiums, panel discussions and paper presentations devoted to the psychological ills that practitioners believe are spreading under the president.
The list of Trump-related topics at the four-day conference covers the psychic waterfront. “Metaphors and the Trump Administration: What Are Effective Responses?” “Healing Practices and Models for Undocumented Students in the Trump Era.” “Gaining Perspective: Intergroup Conflict Intervention With Trump Supporters and Opponents.”
And, “#MAGA: What Pro-Trump Hashtags Tell Us About the 2016 Election.”
Speakers at the conference, which has drawn 11,000 psychologists from around the country, say the glut of Trump-gazing is understandable: The political world is freaking a lot of people out.
In the psychological association’s 2017 Stress of America survey, 57 percent of respondents said “the current political climate” was a top source of angst in their lives. More people were stressed out by politics than their family responsibilities (49 percent) or their health situation (also 49 percent.)
Political-related stress has never scored that high in the dozen years the organization has been putting America on the survey couch. Now, people who live in the world of the 50-minute hour are seeing poli-stress every day.
“We’re seeing it in our clients, we’re seeing it our colleagues — people are on edge,” said Fred Bemak, a George Mason University professor who will be leading a symposium Friday on “The Impact of Global Politics and the Trump Era on Psychology.”

Can we ship them all to Siberia permanently?
I attended the American Psychiatric Association Conference in NYC this past May and there were 15,000 psychiatrists attending. That should have tilted the earth! No wonder we are having more earthquakes and volcanic activity!!!

What's really great is that he's living there rent free.
Leftists are deranged.
I can't decide if they'll be the bug chasers or the gift givers. (Look it up if you haven't eaten yet.)
I saw this coming right after Trump was elected.
Friends I had known for decades...normal and well respected were saying crazy things which if we said them, it would get you a visit from the Secret Service.
It is going to get worse

A special good night to Special Snow Flakes across America/the world. Sleep well! President Trump will be there, watching over you for the next 7+ years every night and day in your miserable life, MAGA!
“I can’t decide if they’ll be the bug chasers or the gift givers. (Look it up if you haven’t eaten yet.)”
Or will they be “participating” in the “fisting,” and “felching!” (You may want to look those terms up as well)

Wow, and my post was #69!
No, Fakebook and Disqus are having the nervous breakdowns, over THIS: It is worth noting that Fakebook CENSORS any mention of a website, www.CodeIsFreeSpeech.com that provides FREE downloads of 3D-printable firearm blueprints. And, since Facebook logins are so prevalent for posting commentary across the Internet, they are very effectively suppressing this “Forbidden knowledge”. Please go to the website, download some or all 10 of the free blueprints, and then, repost it to your friends and across the Internet, to the extent you can. Strike a BLOW against Fakebook and judicial CENSORSHIP! Support TWO amendments at once, the First and the Second!
All of the little fascists got used to running around barefoot during the 0bama years, and now they’re complaining they have to act like adults and wear shoes.
LOL!
So say the Jonestown Marxist koolaid drinkers, polesmokers, and sidewalk defecaters.
APA came to see their handiwork first hand, and get a rimjob that SF is famous for.

Bob, I really didn't appreciate how ridiculous this article was, until you artistically edited it for perspective.
Your post gives a better glimpse into the minds of the Left than the article could hope to do.
Absolutely, lefties are more emotionally fragile. During eight years of Obama and increasing socialism, I didn’t go run to pay money to ramble to some psychologist.
I moved to a rule area, prepared for the worst, and in the meantime lived my life as happy as I could be.
Liberals look for others to save them. They don’t have any internal strength to draw on. That’s why they love big government also.
Exactly, I would be embarrassed to see conservatives act as weak and pathetic as the Liberals are acting
They keep going down this road I'm buying stock in makers of chlorpromazine. It should be making a comeback.
