After President Trump's recent reelection, Dr. Glenn Burnett, an internal medicine physician from Wyoming, noted that many of his patients are experiencing crises reminiscent of post-9/11. The mental health issues, including depression and anxiety, have surged intensely since the election, affecting family dynamics, as people cut ties and disinvite relatives. Burnett carefully navigates political discussions in his practice, but acknowledges the overwhelming stress his patients face, resulting in severe physical and psychological symptoms, highlighting a unique crisis in patient well-being linked to political events.
I would say, to be fair, to set it up, when Biden was the president, I had all kinds of stuff from the other side. But it has been extremely intense.
We are dealing with depression, anxiety, all kinds of medical problems that are related to that, like insomnia, chest pain, chest pressure.
I've been a physician for 30 years. I've never seen this happen before, I mean, to this level where people just completely disinvited their families.
I hear things from people all the time that I just... I don't want to repeat because they're people, I don't think would believe me.
