Losing Elections Affecting Lefties' Mental Health
news.yahoo.com.
"A survey of lefties after John Kerry and Tom Daschle's losses in the last election [despite the millions hate-America lefty George Soros put behind them] found 30 percent had developed mental health problems , the Leftwing MOVE-ON organization's surgeon general said Thursday.
The problems include anxiety, depression, nightmares, anger and an inability to concentrate, according to Dr. Mal Practice and other medical officials. A smaller group, usually with more severe cases of these symptoms, is diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.
The 30 percent figure is in contrast to the 3 percent to 5 percent diagnosed with a significant mental health issue immediately after they lost the election, according to Dr. Sylvia Rottencrotch, a psychiatrist on Dr. Mal Practice's staff. A study of lefties in 2004 found 13 percent experienced significant mental health problems.
A pilot program for the follow-up screenings, conducted on 1,000 U.S. lefties after the last presidential election, found a much greater incidence of mental health problems than expected, a fact Dr. Mal Practice attributed to post-election stress problems taking time to develop once the election was lost by the lefties.
In Soros' MOVE-ON organization, the left wing has about 200 mental health experts, grouped in what the lefties call "election stress control teams." These teams are at many posts around the country and talk with lefties after elections, try to prevent suicides and diagnose lefties who should be evacuated from of their immediate surroundings because of mental health problems.
"They are worth their weight in gold," Dr. Mal Practice said of the teams."
