"People are not okay": The mental health impact of the Trump era

5. This has been echoed back to me by my doctors.

Mental, physical, emotional stress from the past four years has taken it's toll on people's health. I have heard this from most of my doctors, most of whom I see just for maintenance check-ups.

I had a dental procedure on Tuesday and my BIL (who is a dentist) and the dentist I saw here in Boston both confirmed that they have had more patients in with cracked or broken teeth over the past nine months than they had in the previous five years. It has been an epidemic of people stress grinding their teeth resulting in broken teeth and other dental problems.

I am sure that there have also been many other health problems that have been exacerbated by the stress of the past four years, but it will probably be a while before we see those statistics come out.
