It's not an official term used by mental health experts, but the anxiety and depression that I - and many others - are currently experiencing due to the Trump administration can politely be called Trump Anxiety Disorder. Some of the symptoms include:
- Feelings of worry, tension, and irritability
- Headaches, insomnia, and stomach problems
- Difficulty concentrating, obsessive thoughts, or feeling overwhelmed
- Changes in sleep or appetite
- Feelings of sadness, anxiety, anger, or hopelessness about politics
- In some extreme cases, individuals have reported having suicidal thoughts.
I haven't quite reached the level of Trump making me feel suicidal, but everything else checks out. And we've still got another 3 years of this. At least. Sh*t.
