Fairy tales usually start with ‘Once upon a time…’
Via RS:
While psychologists have speculated from afar about President Donald Trump’s mental instability, a psychologist said his manic episodes and the need for constant attention is making Americans anxiety-ridden and in need of mental health care.
According to a psychologist who spoke with Politico, Trump’s distinctive brand of “provocation, brinkmanship, and self-drama,” is leading to what she calls “Trump Anxiety Disorder” that is affecting even those who don’t follow politics.
Jennifer Panning, the psychologist from Evanston, Illinois, who coined the malady, explained it as marked by such symptoms as “increased worry, obsessive thought patterns, muscle tension and obsessive preoccupation with the news.”
According to a therapist Cynthia Baum-Baicker, who is treating a couple whose sex life has been undermined by conflicting opinions about Trump, the president — as an omnipresent figure — looms darkly over everyone’s lives.
“Authority figures represent the parent, [so] President Trump seats in the seat of parent for all Americans,” explained Baum-Baicker. “So now, my ‘father figure’ is a bully, is an authoritarian who doesn’t believe in studying and doing homework. … [Rather than reassurance] he creates uncertainty.”
Trump’s deleterious effect on peoples’ mental health isn’t just affecting liberals –even conservatives are having anxiety issues.

Defending Trump is a miserable lot in life.
I think living a life with our President ingrained in your mind rent free 24/7 would be far more miserable for a liberal such as yourself.
How do you get through the day being absolutely miserable.
TDS sounds better and is far more accurate.
Of course TDS is inflicted on the world solely by the left. They can't stand Trump; and have to let the whole world know it. Then they have to make sure anyone that supports anything the President does is derided and ridiculed in no uncertain terms- to the point that they are unable to voice their support in public.
Too bad ODS couldn't have worked as well against the left. But that was a left inflicted malady as well. Not in favor of anything Obama wanted- you were branded a racist. End of discussion.
The left is fine with everything; so long as it conforms with their world view.
The whole world isn't stupid. They already know Trump is an ignorant bombastic fool.
There is no TDS. That is Trumpster bamboozling nonsense. All there is is the truth.

Nothing an industrial size vat of Preparation-H and about 50 million spare binkies won't solve.
Send my payment for services rendered to the Progressive wing of the Democrat party.
They could use the extra cash to buy more happy pills as well ....
