Election Stress Disorder and What To Do About it with Theresa Nguyen

The U.S. election is weeks away and a lot of people are kind of a
mess right now. It can feel like the whole world is on the line
and you have no real power over what happens. This can result in
election stress disorder, the overwhelm of panic and anxiety that
can interfere with your life functions and peace of mind. We’re
joined by Theresa Nguyen, Chief Research Officer for Mental
Health America and a person who lives with anxiety and
depression. It’s a lively and personal talk about election
stress, including how it works and what you can do to manage it
better.
