Do You Suffer From “Post-Election Depression?”

We sure do love making up new conditions in this country. In the wake of today's elections, you might find yourself, your friends, or your family experiencing something called Post- Election Depression.

Dr. Linda Reiss is a psychologist in Minneapolis who says post-election depression is more severe than just being bummed over one candidate or another losing. And yes, she's serious.

Dr. Reiss says this depression happens when people get so emotionally involved in the election and then lose that it subconsciously triggers emotions that have been buried deep inside. That generally includes depressing moments from when you were younger, even childhood.

There's not an official treatment for post-election depression, but I'm sure a shrink or doctor would be happy to take your money to help you try to get over it.
