Trump Anxiety Syndrome Is Now A Thing
I continue to marvel at the complete infantile nature of a fair part of the citizenry, when I'm not laughing at it....[The Hill] - Therapists in the U.S. say they have seen a rise in politically-related anxiety under the Trump presidency. Though a condition has not been officially named, therapists and patients have referred to it as "Trump Anxiety Disorder," according to a report from Canada’s CBC News. Elisabeth LaMotte, the founder of the D.C. Counseling and Psychotherapy Center in Washington, D.C., told CBC that there is a "collective anxiety" among her patients related to President Trump’s rhetoric and policies. "There is a fear of the world ending," she said. "It's very disorienting and constantly unsettling." She said that Trump critics whom she treats exhibit similar behavior to patients who have a parent with a personality disorder. "Whether it's conscious or not, I think we look to the president of the United States as a psychological parent," LaMotte said. Posted by: Raj 2018-07-29 |
