How to manage election anxiety, according to a psychiatrist

If the upcoming election is making you anxious, you're not alone. According to the American Psychiatric Association, 73% of American adults say they feel anxiety regarding the 2024 election. Dr. Sue Varma, a practicing psychiatrist, joins CBS News to share ways you can manage that stress.

Maybe the anxiety is a good thing. Maybe being concerned and anxious will motivate us to press on to November and end Trump's and MAGA uninvited intrusion into our lives, living rooms, bedrooms and doctor's offices once and for all!

This anxiety is mostly media driven. 😂

How about “Third World Countries” sending over election monitors to ensure YOUR elections are “free and fair”?😂😂😂😂😂

Stop watching the “news.”

Stations like yours keep pumping out this sort of garbage, and people are junkies for it.

Pretty sure Carlin told us all about the lack of meaning of politics.
