So I had a doctor's appointment today, and when I got to the part in the paperwork

where it asked about symptoms, specifically psychological symptoms (anxiety, depression, etc), I just scrawled one word across the whole section:

TRUMP.

No one asked me to explain.

(I wonder how the nurse entered it into the computer.)

explanation doctors have for the feeling of despair and distress that has crippled the mental health of the country. I read an article a few weeks ago that said doctors haven't seen this much anxiety at this level with so many people of all ages in their careers in medicine. It is even worse than how people felt during the Vietnam War.
