American stress levels are at an all time high and politics plays a major role, reports The Monitor Daily.
In August last year, the APA added political questions to its survey. Researchers found that approximately 71 percent of U.S. citizens reported symptoms of emotional stress at least one day that month. By January, the situation took a turn for the worse, as 80 percent Americans reported symptoms such as depression, unease, or tension headaches.
