Dealing with election anxiety? A psychiatrist explains how to channel your fears and break out of tribal thinking
The Conversation | Moor Studio/DigitalVision Vectors/Getty
Instead of excitement about the upcoming election, many of my patients and friends – regardless of political affiliation – report they’re terrified at the thought of the “other side” winning. Democrats tell me they fear Donald Trump will end our democracy; Republicans are afraid Kamala Harris will turn the United States into a socialist society without family values. Watching the news leaves people from both parties exhausted, sad and scared about the future.

William Hanson and the Texas-Mexico Border: Violence, Corruption, and the Making of the Gatekeeper State
Hanson’s career illustrates the ways in which legal exclusion, white-supremacist violence, and official corruption overlapped and were essential building blocks of a growing state presence along the border in the early twentieth century. In this book, John Weber reveals Hanson’s cynical efforts to use state and federal power to proclaim the border region inherently dangerous and traces the origins of current nativist politics that seek to demonize the border population. In doing so, he provides insight into how a minor political appointee, motivated by his own ambitions, had lasting impacts on how the border was experienced by immigrants and seen by the nation.

WHO declares mpox outbreak a global health emergency
STAT | A Niedringhaus/AP
Mpox is caused by a virus in the same family as smallpox, a virus that was declared eradicated in 1980. The virus, which is believed to be carried by small rodents in some countries in Africa, causes painful scarring rashes when contracted by people. People with mpox can also experience fever, muscle aches, headaches, and respiratory symptoms. The infection is especially dangerous in young children — most mpox deaths occur in young children — and people with compromised immune systems.
