I wonder how often people see political news, and that's what makes people reach for their anxiety meds? I wonder how much lower net anxiety would be if fascists and zealots were just... Robustly not capable of existing?

This reminds me of 'preemptive Tylenol (acetaminophen)' Before you have to go into a meeting that's going to give you a headache, you take a preemptive painkiller so it starts to hit as your head starts to hurt. I don't take anxiety meds, but some may want to 'pregame' before looking at the news.

P.S. I am aware of the efficacy issues regarding pain and acetaminophen; However it has been shown to help with the existential angst of David Lynch films. But I'm not a medical doctor so Your Mileage May Vary. www2.psych.ubc.ca/~heine/docs/...

bonus: progesterone reduces anxiety in some people, but it also makes them horny and tired, so its best to have them before you go to bed. result? Stress free mornings!?
