Primaries, Presidential Politics and a few smart Shrinks: A Stress Analysis for the Candidates

The chronic stress of present-day presidential politics must lead all rational Americans to an incontrovertible conclusion: the time has return to assign many good shrinks to the candidates.

Imagine how bored their Docs must get watching for plaque to build up in coronary arteries or waiting for a polyp to come about on intestinal walls. On the other hand, psychological experts would have their hands full immediately.

The candidates want real execs to produce feedback when their verbal habits veer off target, help them unload repressed feelings when the media frustrates them, and provide emotional support once the 'accusation of the day' from their own and also the opposing party.

The presidential aspirants may require a team of specialists: a marriage counselor when things get robust with the potential first Partner, a Psychologist to assist with the vanity issues that stem from striving to be adored by several hundred million people, and when all else fails, a Psychiatrist to convey their brain cells a lift of serotonin.

We Americans suffer from the illusion that our chosen leaders must have their collective heads on pretty straight. Not necessarily true! When you are at the highest, people get squeamish about noting your idiosyncrasies. Would you tell the potential President of the most powerful country in the world that his temper tantrums with the media represent unresolved rage towards his/her mother? of course not, however an honest Shrink would!

We need a permanent policy mandating many good shrinks to follow every potential leader. would not it inspire confidence in our candidates - and set a good example for our children - if the networks ended their news programs with this necessary message:

"And finally, girls and gentlemen, we tend to return to our Presidential candidate Smith, who consulted a counselor today because

.....the pressure of running for the most powerful position in the world was stressing him/her out.

.....he/she had a nightmare last night that revealed deep-seated feelings of inadequacy.

.....and, worst of all, the potential first Partner was peeved at him/her throughout dinner.

The presidential aspirants exhibit these natural human reactions whether we would like to believe it or not. do you want somebody running your country that is not involved with his/her deep-seated feelings of inadequacy?

We should require every candidate running for the very best office in the land to meet up with a whole psychological analysis. Our team of shrinks may be summoned to the primaries to pinpoint potential problems. relations would be interviewed to evaluate the extent of dysfunction in the prospective first Family. This way, we tend to might tell if a future "Prez" was on the point of expertise a midlife crisis. A candidate with sociopathic tendencies may be eliminated before he/she got into serious bother.

Think about it! can we tend to afford to take a chance with the future big Guy/Gal's psyche? that is pretty risky! keep in mind, our lives will ultimately be obsessed with the continued health of his/her brain cells.
