Not checked into it?
You have dedicated the last ten years of your life obsessing about TRUMP.
I would say you should check into a local psychiatric clinic.
I know someone that has obsessed about Donald Trump for ten years. He think TRUMP is behind everything from Global Warming to Space Aliens? Can this person seek psychiatric help?
Yes, someone who has developed a decade-long obsession with Donald Trump, especially to the point of attributing everything from global warming to space aliens to him, might benefit from psychiatric or psychological help.
Here’s why:
1. Obsessive Thinking - Fixating on a public figure to the point where they become the root cause of everything is not typical. It may reflect delusional thinking, paranoia, or obsessive-compulsive tendencies.
2. Distorted Attribution - Believing that one person is responsible for complex, global phenomena is often a cognitive distortion (e.g., “externalizing blame” or “catastrophizing”). These patterns are common in anxiety and mood disorders.
3. Interference with Daily Life - If this obsession is interfering with their relationships, work, or ability to engage with reality-based reasoning, then yes—mental health support is warranted.
What Kind of Help? - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Can help challenge irrational beliefs and obsessive thought patterns.
- Psychiatric Evaluation: To rule out underlying conditions such as delusional disorder, paranoid personality disorder, or OCD-spectrum disorders.
- Medication: In some cases, SSRIs or antipsychotic meds may be prescribed if a diagnosis requires it.
Final Thought: It’s okay to care deeply about politics or current events. But when it crosses into irrational fixation or magical thinking—like blaming Trump for alien abductions—it’s time to talk to a professional.
If you're close to this person and concerned, you might gently suggest they speak to someone—not because of their politics, but because of how much distress it’s causing them. |
