Electoral depression?

I do a small amount of clinical work (pastoral counseling and spiritual direction), and in the past week I have been amazed at the amount of time folks have spent talking about the presidential election.

Depression, sadness, and despair seem to be the primary emotions, and those emotions are coloring relationships, work, and prayer.

We've seen a worldwide outpouring at Sorry Everybody and Apologies Accepted. But most of the folks who talk about it in session say they've kept the depth of their response to themselves until now.
