Anxious in the Trump Era? You're Not Alone

From a clinical psychologist:

<snip>
It’s no surprise that our office phone at the Center for Anxiety has been ringing off the hook since January 2017. From immigration and health care concerns to white supremacy — and let’s not forget the threat of nuclear war — there is plenty to be anxious about today.

Many of our patients have shared with us that the greatest concern is simply the fact that Donald Trump is president. They are worried because he seems like a loose cannon and they don’t feel they can trust him.

It's important to remember that there are huge numbers of us who are together resisting this man, regardless of smaller public policy differences we may have. We will get through this and eventually make the country better.

I've lived with depression before, and I've been medicated before but I don't want to go back on meds. I can't wait until this prick is out of office.
