Therapists Seeing Patients With Trump Derangement Syndrome

[dukkha]

Therapists around Washington, D.C., are noticing a sharp increase in patients describing symptoms of what has been called Trump Derangement Syndrome.

“There is a fear of the world ending,” said DC Counseling and Psychotherapy Center founder, Elisabeth LaMotte, referring to some of President Donald Trump’s decisions. “It’s very disorienting and constantly unsettling.”

LaMotte described an uptick in her patients describing what the right refers to as Trump Derangement Syndrome, CBC reported Saturday.

“Is he gonna blow us all up?”

one of her patients asked.

Urban Dictionary defines Trump Derangement Syndrome as “a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason.”

Clinical psychologist Jennifer Panning calls it “Trump Anxiety Disorder” because “symptoms were specific to the election of Trump and the resultant unpredictable sociopolitical climate.”

Trump himself tweeted about the disorder July 18, saying those on the left “would rather go to war” with Russia than see a peace talk.

LaMotte added that she’s treated some Trump supporters as well, mostly because friends and families have alienated them for publicly supporting the president.

Washington therapist Steven Stosny recounted treating a member of the Trump administration and the toll it took on his family-life.

His daughter was starting to hate him,” Stosny said. “It was very hard on his spouse, too. The wife couldn’t take it anymore. It’s tough when one spouse is at war with the children.

While Stosny’s patient left the administration, the couple divorced.

Trump is a clown. It's not only understandable but rational to fear someone so naïve & unhinged leading out country.

MY MD said last week she had patients who were discussing anxiety and even depression over the state of country and this presidency. We're in a SOLID RED zip code.

Seriously - if the ONLY thing a Democrat President did was give hush money to a porn star, the right would lose their collective minds. Talk radio would be on it 24x7.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg with Trump. Try to at least understand that in 2 years, we have lowered our standards for what we expect of a leader in dramatic fashion. From the perspective of integrity, morality and just basic adult behavior, this is a nadir.

No politician is MY moral leader. I want him or her to get government "stuff" done. MAGA!

Nice dodge. I'm sure he wasn't.

But I'm equally sure that you were saying at that time that moral leadership in a President was important.

I thought he lied about the Monica stuff and laughed hysterically when he was wagging that crooked finger at the camera. My life went on.

no. i opposed Impeachment then,and I'll oppose it when the dems take the House.

One would think the Dems would oppose impeachment also for Trump (never mind there aren't high crimes)
but they don't because they got TDS
