Psychotherapist Opens Up About Trump Derangement Syndrome

Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert wrote a piece in the Wall Street Journal telling us what most of us already knew: Trump Derangement Syndrome is actually a real thing.
 

He was not trying to make a political point, but rather to explain that in his practice, about 75% of his patients are experiencing an obsession with Donald Trump that is warping their lives.

Is “Trump derangement syndrome” real? No serious mental-health professional would render such a partisan and derogatory diagnosis. Yet I’ve seen it in my own psychotherapy practice. Patients across the political spectrum have brought Donald Trump into therapy not to discuss policy but to process obsession, rage and dread. Their distress is symptomatic, not ideological.

Yup, it's real.  I've seen it in liberal extended family members.  It's a mix of obsession, anxiety, and delusion.  An Orange Boogeyman lives inside their heads.
