Show Notes

In late February, an article ran on both Kaiser Health News and CNN heralding a new psychiatric diagnosis: “Post-Election Stress Disorder.” The Wall Street Journal had an article titled, “Take Back Your Brain From Social Media.” Science of Us, not to be outdone, offered “How to Follow All This Trump News Without Going Crazy.” There was another in the same publication: “You’re Not the Only One: America Just Broke a National Stress Record.” Joining us today are two University of Texas professors, Christopher McCarthy and Art Markman, who will offer some wisdom and advice on keeping calm and upholding civility in a time of political polarization.
