Physician Glenn Burnett told political analyst Mark Halperin on Thursday that his patients are struggling with significant mental health issues following President Donald Trump’s November election win.
Burnett, an internal medicine physician based out of Jackson, Wyoming, explained on Halperin’s “2WAY TONIGHT” podcast that some of his patients have been experiencing “depression, anxiety” and similar “medical problems” akin to what he witnessed in patients after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
“Well, the first thing I would say is I am very, very careful when I talk to patients about expressing any of my own political views. That is never done in the office. But what has happened is I am just bombarded with all kinds of things all the time,” Burnett said.
“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. The week or two after the election was pretty intense. It then calmed down and now it’s really back up.”
“We are dealing with depression, anxiety, all kinds of medical problems that are related to that, like insomnia, chest pain, chest pressure. And then people are — there’s some genuine fear, panic,” he continued. “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, that just people have these very, very severe anxieties about what is going to happen to them. And it is affecting their lives.”
“It’s really, really interesting…I was a physician during 9/11, and it was like this then. But it was everybody. This is just about as intense, but it’s not everybody. And people are having real crises.”
“I think it has a lot to do with Donald Trump and the fears of what he’s going to do or what’s happening in the country,” Burnett added.
Burnett went on to claim he’d never seen such a negative disruption in “family dynamics” after Trump’s election victory.
“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 and that there’s just this huge breach in normal family dynamics. And I’ll be honest with you,” he said.
“It’s bad for the — I’ve had young people in my office crying because grandma told them not to come or whatever. But then, weeks later, I’ve had the people who did the disinviting get all emotional because they don’t know how to get themselves out of the spiral they’re in with their family members.”
“And when people behave like that, they become very, very isolated, and then they don’t have the normal human interactions to really go on with life. And then they end up with these severe mental health problems,” he added.
Halperin in October predicted that America would see the “greatest mental health crisis in history” among the left if Trump won the election.
And to the horror of the Democrat base, Trump won not only all 7 swing states, but he also won the popular vote and helped Republicans retake the majorities in the House and Senate.
