Actual TDS is absolutely a real thing. My son is a clinical psychologist and works at a private practice with 3 others. They regularly treat clients for it. My son's focus was on pediatric so most of his clients are minors and thankfully he doesn't have to directly deal with weak minded Lefties so obsessed with someone they have never met or communicated with that they have terrible anxiety or mental breakdowns, or are just so hyper focused on that stranger that their actual day to day lives are a struggle. Obsessed with a stranger that in all likelihood has zero or next to zero actual impact on their day to day lives.

I have lived through 8years of Obama and 4years of Biden just as an adult since 2000. Aside from being hurt financially due to poor economies under their admins, and the Covid scam everyone endured in one way or another, who holds the Oval Office has very little effect on actual law abiding citizens of the US. I have never seen people so obsessed with anyone the way Lefties are with Trump. Its strange to behold.

**Short answer:** No. *“Trump Derangement Syndrome”* is **not a recognized psychological or medical diagnosis**. It’s a **political slang term**, not a clinical condition. 🧠

---

## What the term means

The phrase **“Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)”** is used in political commentary to describe people who are perceived as having **extreme, emotionally driven reactions to** Donald Trump—especially intense dislike that critics say overrides rational discussion.

People who use the term typically mean that someone:

* Reacts to anything involving Trump with strong anger or outrage
* Interprets most events through a negative view of him
* Dismisses any positive information about him

However, **this is a rhetorical label**, not a psychological assessment.

---

## Origin of the phrase

The term is actually modeled after an older political insult:

* **“Bush Derangement Syndrome”** – used during the presidency of George W. Bush to criticize people who strongly opposed him.

Political commentators later adapted the phrase for Trump.

---

## Why psychologists don’t consider it a real condition

For something to be a legitimate mental health disorder it must appear in diagnostic manuals such as:

* the **DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)**
* the **ICD (International Classification of Diseases)**

“Trump Derangement Syndrome” appears in **neither**.

Psychologists generally view it as:

* **Political rhetoric**
* **A way to dismiss opponents’ criticism**
* **A shorthand used in media debates**

---

## A broader psychological reality

While TDS itself isn’t real, **strong political reactions are very real**. Research in political psychology shows that modern politics can trigger:

* **Identity-based thinking**
* **Confirmation bias**
* **Out-group hostility**
* **Emotional polarization**

These dynamics happen **across the political spectrum**, not just around one politician.

---

✅ **Bottom line:**
“Trump Derangement Syndrome” is **a political label used in debates**, not a recognized psychological disorder.

---

If you’re interested, I can also explain **why modern politics triggers such intense emotional reactions in people’s brains** (the neuro
science behind political polarization is actually fascinating).

I think there's a good chance that your son might be lying to you when he tells you that he's a 'clinical psychologist'.

No no it's only applicable to people who "obsess" about Trump. Doesn't apply to people who believe in Q, spent hours reviewing a certain POTUS birth certificate, or who scoured the web trying to find pictures of a pregnant Michelle Obama. Those people totally normal. Didn't a current POTUS who many like to claim is a victim fall for the birth certificate fraud? Did he have ODS?

Well obviously not because all those things are true. One day you too can become enlightened

I never respond to your posts because you're batsheit crazy and I refuse to waste my time arguing with strangers. Gonna make an exception for this one though.

For you (a Lefty of course) to actually think that you know better what goes on at my son's practice than I do is the exact same idiotic BS as the Dems above arguing with actual Iranians who lived there about what is best for Iran.

Its stupid.
Its insane.
Its incredibly arrogant.
Mostly its dead wrong like you are about so many other things.

Stick to things that you at least have a tiny chance at being correct about. What goes on at a private practice in NC you have never heard of, seen, or visited is never gonna be one of those things. Its like me trying to tell you that your mom's cooking tastes like crap. I am not that stupid or insane though. Thats a you problem.

Not sure I've ever met someone that'll blatantly ignore that anyone of color can do wrong.
You can't agree, you can't defend, you can't add to... you just point out the "white man bad" every single time. I believe we've had this discussion before,
I'll not carry on this old topic and well known fact. You literally would distract off 2 terrorist that tried to murder multiple American's to target a white man.
You're pathetic bro. Absolutely vile. But I'm done. You have the power to ban me so I'm not going to press this anymore....

I ignore nothing. You want a govt that will deport anyone of a specific religion. That's completely against what this country was founded on. You want a govt that will wipe its ass with that document and I'm vile? You didn't seem to even understand what you want. Your posts show that to be all too true.

Your son's practice is not diagnosing people with TDS. That's not real

TDS is not a real condition. If psychologists are "treating" it then it's not in any psychological capacity, like a dentist treating you for a tooth fairy injury. You should direct your anger toward whoever told you otherwise
