Yale Psychiatrist Advises Breaking Ties with Family & Friends Who Voted for Trump

The aftermath of President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive election victory last week has offered a window into the mental health struggles of Americans many of whom have been showcasing their personal meltdowns publicly via social media for the past few days.

Now a Yale psychiatrist Dr. Amanda Calhoun is advising MSNBC viewers to break off ties with family members who refused to vote for Kamala Harris and to tell them why they are being shunned.

When a “mental health progressional” from an overpriced Ivy School advises you to break up with your family, friends and support network over politics … run for your life.

She is a an apparatchik for the politburo and, clearly, has more undiagnosed mental problems than you. https://t.co/qCZPY2oiyN

Calhoun was a guest on MSNBC host Joy Reid’s program in response to a report that calls to crisis centers from LGBT youth had spiked by 700 percent following Trump’s win in the presidential race.

The Yale psychiatrist, whose school profile affirms that she “also specializes in the effects of medical anti-Black racism”, told Reid and her viewers that those aggrieved by last week’s election results should avoid their Trump-supporting relatives and tell them:

“You know, to say, ‘I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood, and I’m not going to be around you this holiday. I need to take some space for me.’”

Calhoun called it “essential” for people to establish boundaries for their own mental health.

The doctor has not explained how urging individuals to destroy their familial support networks over political differences equals sound medical or psychiatric advice rather than simply encouraging dogmatic behavior by equating one’s ideas with one’s livelihood.

Convincing those with mental health concerns that any form of disagreement is an attack upon their very existence, appears to have more to do with combining neo-Marxism and medicine than it does with healing the sick.
