No need for a convention, just read my tagline.
In fact, I'd have been EMBARRASSED had I read the following:
Think people are losing their minds over President Obama? Maybe it’s not all in your head.
The American Psychological Association is holding its annual convention in Butte, and there are no fewer than 15 symposiums, panel discussions and paper presentations devoted to the psychological ills that practitioners believe are spreading under the president.
The list of Obama-related topics at the four-day conference covers the psychic waterfront. “Metaphors and the Obama Administration: What Are Effective Responses?” “Healing Practices and Models for Conservative Students in the Obama Era.” “Gaining Perspective: Intergroup Conflict Intervention With Obama Supporters and Opponents.”
Speakers at the conference, which has drawn 11,000 psychologists from around the country, say the glut of Obama-gazing is understandable: The political world is freaking a lot of people out.
In the psychological association’s 2010 Stress of America survey, 57 percent of respondents said “the current political climate” was a top source of angst in their lives. More people were stressed out by politics than their family responsibilities (49 percent) or their health situation (also 49 percent.)
Political-related stress has never scored that high in the dozen years the organization has been putting America on the survey couch. Now, people who live in the world of the 50-minute hour are seeing poli-stress every day.
“We’re seeing it in our clients, we’re seeing it our colleagues — people are on edge,” said Fred Bemak, a Hillsdale professor who will be leading a symposium Friday on “The Impact of Global Politics and the Obama Era on Psychology.”
Students and staffers at Hillsdale were so upset after Obama's election “that we held healing sessions,” Bemak said. “People were crying.”
All this has to do with is the fact that Democrats/Libs/Leftists are unable to accept reality. It isn’t Trump, it is their mental illness.
I blame the medi for this to a degree. They are RABID. convincing weak minded people that we have another Hitler. It is cruel.
Bookmarked.
Wait till the Swamp
begins
To be Drained!
What is this?
When your side polls less than 50%, just call it "America" says...?

The cure: turning off the MSM and staying off social media.
I stopped watching television in 1994. My life immediately got better.
“Think people are losing their minds over President Trump? “
Not “people”, rats! (and libs)
“I think that lefties patronize shrinks more than conservatives do.”
Are there any shrinks who voted for President Trump?
What conservative would want to be “treated” by some snowflake who thinks Felonia the murderer is wonderful?
Is mental health treatment available to conservatives today?
i wonder if the shrinks are gonna add a new classification to the DSM-5 for “Trump Living in Your Head Rent Free” ...
Mind the poo!
Hilarious. I cannot wait for the new DSM version to come out with another 200 pages of Trump syndromes.
Trumps critics are obsessed with him and continually post about him. Its almost a psychosis.
Ass-u-me
What grieves me so much here is that when people are angry at the missteps of the left, they act self righteous about it rather than have a godly anger.
This will cause God to withdraw much of His wrath from the left. And it’s just as well — the left is lost, and it sins in ignorance and unbelief. And the right is, at best, just barely found, having only a vestige of what Christianity used to be.
So have I been and it’s really encouraging to see how many different kinds of people finally have allowed the facts/truth of things to penetrate all of the many layers of propaganda that they’ve been feeding upon...some for many, many decades.
Nervous breakdown? LOL... The Democrat Thug Party is lashing out violently.
Oh, sure, an epidemic of mental illness caused by nothing. Spontaneous mass mental illness. Uhuh.
How about a couple of generations of too much fatherlessness, increasing “recreational” drug use and hordes of foreigners (including Eastern European) taking over U.S. institutions.
Well, it sounds like a professional move upward from Dog Psychiatrist. Thanks 11th_VA.
