Emotional stress is bringing Anxious Annies into Bay Area psychotherapy sessions, and the culprit is always the same: the economy.
Can’t be confined to our neck of the world, either. One psychotherapist recognized the phenomena as “emotional contagion.” Oh! Get it? Contagion!
Reasons why they call it a depression? Perhaps: A survey conducted last year by the American Psychological Association found about 80 percent of American adults are feeling money woes. And among women 63 and older, the number of those worried about the economy increased 18 points from 74 percent over about a half-year period.
Evidently, there are ways of dealing. You probably won’t see this coming—exercise and a healthy diet. As always. Also, talking to people and not bottling up how you feel.
To be sure, we need people who can offer psychotherapy and economic analysis. In essence, they would be analysts … and therapists. Hmm.

“exercise and a healthy diet”
that cost money. Too bad the radicals at Berkeley cheered the Massiah, and not Bush. Bush wanted capitalism, a form of charging off the Chinese oil thieves from Iraq by invading it. Now, the economy is sunk because there is no economy. That was the economy to take the profits of the oil fields.
So Obama says lets have a tax break for almost everyone, when it is in fact borrowing $1 trillion dollars to make a bubble that will break. And the radical Berkeley students see him as the deity that saved mankind. The world is laughing at UC Berkeley. So is Bush. The world hated Bush because he had the correct plan for the USA, to make it successful. But the dems shut it down, and told Halliburton not to go near the oil in 2004. Bush listened and the rest of our economy is history. Now Obama wants to print money, because he believes that will stimulate the economy.
