Liberal outlet Vox recommends mental health treatment to recover from psychological trauma of Trump's presidency

"His presidency is over, but the trauma isn't," Vox's Anna North wrote in solemn reference to the mental health impact of former President Donald Trump's four years in the Oval Office, suggesting that many Americans are still grappling with the effects of "Trump anxiety disorder" even now after he has left office.

In a lengthy column published by the liberal news outlet on Thursday, North argued that Trump's presidency was so detrimental to the American psyche that lasting mental health effects can still be felt today and will likely continue to plague society for some time to come.

"Now, Trump has finally left office, despite his constant threats that he wouldn't. But the impact on the American psyche of four years of racist rhetoric, incitements of violence, and out-and-out chaos remains," she said, adding later: "Like the impact of Trump's policies, that stress doesn't go away overnight, especially when the conditions that led to his election — systemic racism, anti-immigrant paranoia, and the rampant spread of misinformation — are still very much a reality."
