Rush Limbaugh is being taken to task for mercilessly "mocking" distraught
\n Kerry supporters in need of recuperative therapy. Hey, anybody who looks
\n to Rush for Mental Health advice deserves whatever they get….<\/p>\n

\n

The Boca Raton News reported last week that more than 30 distraught
\n Kerry supporters in South Florida contacted the non-profit AHA
\n following their candidate’s Nov.
\n 3 concession to President Bush. AHA officials have diagnosed the disorder
\n as Post Election Selection Trauma (PEST) and have scheduled the
\n first of several
\n free group therapy sessions for just after Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

Cooperman, whose professional practice is based in Delray Beach, said the
\n election-related symptoms she sees in the Kerry supporters more than quality
\n PEST as "a legitimate
\n syndrome or disorder within the trauma spectrum," according to the American
\n Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
