Trump’s Age of Anxiety: Worries Pile Up, Health Will Go Down

ARTICLE by Daniel P Keating PhD: Psychology Today........

QUOTE~~

It can come as no surprise that the groups most negatively affected over the past year are those who have been targeted by the policies and attitudes of the Trump Administration. The principal drivers of stress and anxiety are fear, uncertainty, and a lack of control over one’s life and future, and these have grown markedly over the past year. Plans by the Department of Justice to reform police practices in response to the Black Lives Matter movement have been reversed, and local law enforcement has been emboldened by Trump’s encouragement to “not be too nice” when arresting suspects. Deportation weighs heavily on many immigrants, including their friends and families who are already citizens. The barely hidden “Muslim ban” has had a similar effect.
