"Election stress and anxiety is very real, and so anyone that is feeling it should know that there are literally probably millions of other people that are also experiencing this right now," Dr. Kevin Antschel stated, highlighting the widespread emotional impact of elections.
Dr. Judson Brewer explained that uncertainty around elections triggers stress: "If our ancient ancestors [heard] a rustling in the bushes, and they weren't sure what that sound was... it could be a lion that was coming to have them for lunch," revealing our innate response to threats.
Brewer also emphasized the importance of information for the mind, stating, "Information is food for our brain just like a sandwich is food for our stomach," underlining our need for clarity during uncertain times.
