Biden Derangement Syndrome: A New Diagnosis for Capitol Rioters?

In a bold assertion, psychologist Jonathan Alpert has coined the term“Biden Derangement Syndrome,”suggesting that the individuals who stormed the Capitol on January 6 were afflicted with this condition. This comes after he previously stirred the pot by questioning the validity of“Trump Derangement Syndrome,”a term used to describe intense anxiety and anger towards Donald Trump. Alpert’s insights are part of a broader examination of how deeply political figures can affect mental well-being.

During his guest appearance on“TMZ Live,”Alpert shared his observations on patients consumed by a tumultuous relationship with politics that can ruin vacations and disrupt sleep. The revelation that these sentiments aren’t confined to Democrats alone adds an interesting layer. Alpert argues that even Trump supporters can fall prey to heightened emotions regarding Biden, underlining a problematic fixation on political figures that doesn’t seem to discriminate by party.

As our political climate becomes increasingly fraught, Alpert’s perspective raises a crucial question: could this obsession be causing real harm to our personal lives? It seems we might need to take a collective step back and assess how we’re engaging with politics. After all, life’s too short to let a presidential election ruin your vacation plans!
