Primaries, Presidential Politics and a couple of 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 come to assign some smart shrinks to the candidates.

Imagine how bored their Docs must get anticipating plaque to build up in coronary arteries or expecting a polyp to surface on intestinal walls. On the opposite hand, psychological experts would have their hands full immediately.

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

The presidential aspirants may need a team of specialists: a wedding counselor when things get powerful with the prospective 1st Partner, a Psychologist to help with the self-esteem issues that stem from striving to be adored by many hundred million folks, and when all else fails, a Psychiatrist to grant their brain cells a boost of serotonin.

We Americans suffer from the illusion that our chosen leaders must have their collective heads on pretty straight. Not essentially true! When you're at the top, folks get squeamish regarding mentioning your idiosyncrasies. Would you tell the prospective President of the foremost powerful country within 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 some smart shrinks to follow each potential leader. would not it inspire confidence in our candidates - and set a great example for our kids - if the networks ended their news programs with this necessary message:

"And finally, women and gentlemen, we come to our Presidential candidate Smith, who consulted a counselor these days because

.....the pressure of running for the foremost powerful position within 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 prospective 1st Partner was peeved at him/her throughout dinner.

The presidential aspirants exhibit these natural human reactions whether we wish to believe it or not. do you need someone running your country that's not involved with his/her deep-seated feelings of inadequacy?

We should need each candidate running for the very best workplace within the land to taste a complete psychological analysis. Our team of shrinks may well be summoned to the primaries to pinpoint potential issues. members of the family would be interviewed to judge the level of dysfunction within the prospective 1st Family. This way, we may tell if a future "Prez" was about to expertise a midlife crisis. A candidate with sociopathic tendencies may well be eliminated before he/she got into serious hassle.

Think about it! can we afford to take a chance with the longer term huge Guy/Gal's psyche? that's pretty risky! bear in mind, our lives can ultimately be keen about the continuing health of his/her brain cells.
