Nation: Navigating Election Stress Syndrome</strong></h1><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>By  Dr. Janette Nesheiwat</strong> </h3><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><em>November 5, 2024   8:35am EST</em><br></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">We are amidst a tumultuous political period. Did you know<em> Election stress syndrome</em> and <em>political discrimination </em>are real medical conditions that must be addressed.  I have seen  patients who are extreme and unrealistic, believing the world will come to an end based on who is our next president. On the other hand some patients don't even care to vote.  Election stress can stem from a range of psychological and social factors. The stress surrounding elections especially in today's environment can create or exacerbate health issues like anxiety or depression.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Did you know that 77% of adults in our nation have reported the future of our country as a significant source of stress.  That is according to the American Psychology Association.  Many patients already struggle with anxiety and depression, and it’s being exacerbated by major events like a pandemic or the upcoming presidential election, one of the most consequential and historical elections in history one might say.  The fact is that Political issues impact all of us both mentally and physically. But it's important we maintain our health throughout. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">  A 2021 Pew Research Center study found that 57% of Americans believe that the political climate has made it harder for people to get along, and about 60% feel that the country is more divided than in the past.   Research published in the journal <em>Health Affairs</em> found that political events like elections can trigger and instigate symptoms in individuals with pre-existing mental health conditions, with about 35% of those surveyed reporting worsened mental health due to political stressors. So this begs the question: why?</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">  What causes Election Stress Syndrome? Factors such as uncertainty, fear of the unknown, fear of change, and a lack of control over outcomes play significant roles. Combine that with 24/7 news coverage and constant social media updates, and people are bombarded with information that can feel drastically overwhelming. Sensational headlines and intense commentary increase the perception of high stakes, amplifying stress levels and anxiety. This is particularly true for those who already have an underlying disorder or a history of PTSD or mental condition.  We are forced to consider the personal impact elections have on us. Many people feel that the outcomes of an election will have an immediate negative impact on their lives, families, and personal values regarding faith, healthcare, climate, education, and safety.  Additionally, elections can bring social pressures to take a stance on certain viewpoints. Disagreement can create tension, especially with friends, relatives, neighbors, and colleagues. The thought of post-election reactions, including protests and policy changes, can add to the worry.  But, to a certain degree, It's all normal to have these concerns.  After all, it's a part of life.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">But don't worry, here are my tips to help get through the election process:</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Dr. Nesheiwat's Coping Tips on Election Stress</strong>:</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">1. Limit News Consumption</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">2. Stay Connected with Supportive People and engage in your favorite activities- read, run, bake your favorite foods, or try a new sport like pickleball or hiking. Isolation can make stress feel worse so reach out to someone you trust.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">3. Focus on Self care: pray, meditate, breathe</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">4. Limit Election Conversations & Set boundaries</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">5. Most Importantly,  get physical!  Exercise and activity releases endorphins, your happy hormones which help reduce stress.  </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"> According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about  1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience mental illness every year which is more than 51 million people. So this holistic therapeutic approach addresses the psychological and social aspects of an election cycle, encouraging a healthier outlook on political engagement. Voting itself  can also serve as a way to regain a sense of control amidst uncertainty and fear of the unknown. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">If you find yourself needing more intervention, consider seeking professional support if the anxiety or stress is overwhelming or interferes with your daily life. Reach out to your doctor or a therapist to help cope with the emotional and mental stress. Therapy and sometimes medications can help you manage these challenges.  As I discuss in my book, <a href="http://www.doctorjanette.com/">Beyond the Stethoscope</a>, there is a fascinating intersection between political engagement and physical and mental health. Highlighting  the existence of mental illness alongside the stress induced by political events can bring awareness to the need for effective coping strategies and support.   Moving forward, I prescribe a prayer and encourage you to cast your vote, as we are living through a spectacular time—one of the most significant historical and consequential presidential elections in history. Let's make it count, and God bless our great country.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><em>Live healthy, Stay Strong</em></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Dr. Janette
