Stop reading the news and take up yoga. That’s what some therapists are telling patients stressed out by a nasty presidential campaign in which two unpopular candidates are in a tight race for the most powerful office in the world.

While some patients are unhappy with the idea of a Hillary Clinton presidency, most are worried about Donald Trump, a blunt-spoken, insult-spewing New York businessman who has never held public office, according to interviews with seven therapists across six states and the District of Columbia.

The therapists said their patients have complained of difficulty sleeping, irritability and heart palpitations. They said they were advising clients to limit exposure to the news and take up breathing exercises and yoga to calm down.

“I’ve never seen this level of stress and anxiety over an impending election in my 26 years (of practicing),” said Nancy Molitor, a clinical psychologist from just outside Chicago.

Molitor said she had two elderly patients who were worried that their grandchildren would inherit an America in turmoil. Another, a World War Two veteran, sees similarities between Trump and the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, Molitor added.

Philip Muskin, professor of psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center and scientific program chair of the American Psychiatric Association, said the anxiety among his patients reminded him of the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and the crashing to Earth of America’s first space station, Skylab, in 1979, which had people around the world worried they could be hit by falling space debris.

“Things where, for everybody, the sense of control is gone,” Muskin said.

Adding to the anxiety is the fact that the two candidates in the Nov. 8 election are the most unpopular in modern U.S. history. Some 57.5 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of Trump and nearly 54 percent have an unfavorable view of Clinton, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling.

Lynn Bufka, executive director for practice research and policy at the American Psychological Association, said one patient was concerned that much of the criticism of Clinton was just because she was a woman and this had affected how the patient viewed herself.

“What does this mean for her as a woman? Have things really changed that much for her in terms of what she can do?” Bufka recalled the patient wondering.

Bufka said Latino and Muslim patients are also anxious about Trump’s proposals to build a wall along the Mexican border and to temporarily suspend immigration by Muslims.
