The Silent Weight of Political Depression — and What You Can Do About It

It’s not in your head.
That heaviness? That numbness? That creeping sense that nothing you do matters?

You might be experiencing political depression—and you’re not alone.

When injustice is relentless, progress feels stalled, and basic human rights are debated on national TV, it’s easy to feel like giving up.

But here’s the truth: giving up isn’t healing—and numbing out won’t protect your mental health.

Political Grief Is Real

Many people are grieving a country they thought they knew.
Others are grieving futures they fear will never come.

Symptoms of political depression include:

  • Emotional shutdown or hopelessness

  • Loss of motivation or purpose

  • Cynicism or despair about the future

  • Chronic fatigue, disengagement, and self-isolation

This is not weakness. This is trauma—and it’s treatable.
