President Trump has stressed people out as much as they were on 9/11 in some cases.
""It reminds me of how I felt after 9/11," said Gale, 38, referencing the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the U.S., a time when she felt "fear of the unknown and unfamiliar.""
"The American Psychological Association has recorded a rise in anxiety in the Trump era, with a five per cent increase (52 to 57 per cent) in politically induced stress levels over a six-month period before, during and after the 2016 election. Overall, stress levels were the highest they've been in a decade, according to the APA.
In an online survey in February 2017, two-thirds of Americans — including most Democrats as well as most Republicans — said they were stressed about the future of the nation. Most of the more than 3,500 people polled blamed the extreme political polarization for their anxiety. There was a strong correlation between stress levels and electronic news consumption."
In a divided U.S., therapists treating anxiety are hearing the same name over and over: Donald Trump
The article tells of one couple who ended up divorcing over Trump. Talk about literally ripping this nation apart, one family at a time, I wonder how many marriages have been destroyed by this President? It seems there are more family separations happening than only at the border.
"Therapists around the country told CBC they're seeing politically tinged anger and anxiety from patients no matter their political affiliation."
It also talks about the damage people are doing to one another with online abuse in chat rooms just like this. We know what they are talking about. When has it ever been nastier than now?
Words do have consequences.
