Author(s):

This year it also brings elections, with partisan divides we have not seen in a long time. Psychiatric Times’ Editor in Chief John J. Miller, MD, considers the affects of election anxiety, and reminds us that we need to do our civic duties by voting and then find a way to move forward—together.
