If you don’t have God, you end up idolizing other things. For many, this includes the government.

We all knew that TDS was a very real phenomenon, but many of us probably didn’t realize just how severe the disorder truly is.

According to psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert, nearly 75 percent of his patients are “hyper-fixated” on Trump to the point that they struggle to sleep and have subjected themselves to mental trauma.

According to the doctor, “This is a profound pathology, and I would even go so far as to call it the defining pathology of our time.” This might explain why there is a correlation between liberalism and an increase in depression rates.

It’s not that people go to him because they’ve realized they have TDS, but they come in with these symptoms and not even five minutes into the session, their hatred of Trump becomes the sole focus.

According to the Wall Street Journal:

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.

According to the outlet, it’s a type of OCD where the compulsion involves constantly checking the news, and the obsession is none other than Donald J. Trump. Interesting. Very interesting.

The thing about OCD is that it sometimes revolves around believing intrusive thoughts to the point where they’re perceived as a physical threat, even though they’re usually false mental activity. This might explain why so many people feel a sense of doom around the president’s actions and initiatives. Again, very interesting when you think about it.

Clinically, the presentation aligns with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders: persistent intrusive thoughts, emotional dysregulation and impaired functioning. Patients describe sleepless nights, compulsive news checking and physical agitation. Many confess they can’t stop thinking about Donald Trump even when they try. They interpret his every move as a threat to democracy and to their own safety and control.

Call it “obsessive political preoccupation”—an obsessive-compulsive spectrum presentation in which a political figure becomes the focal point for intrusive thoughts, heightened arousal and compulsive monitoring.

Wow. I guess when we passively say “these people need help,” they truly do need that extra help. At this point, we can only pray for them, as this must be a miserable experience, one you would not wish on your worst enemy. It’s truly very sad if you think about it.
