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. (RELATED: RAND PAUL: ‘TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME’ HAS INFILTRATED THE SENATE)
“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.

I am glad that nobody is listening to psychiatrists nowadays. After the trailer for ´Glass´I think we can pretty much agree that psychiatrists are not going to help solve anybody´s mental issues.
