Whether you're excited for or dreading Donald Trump's return to the White House, November has been a stressful month.
Between the high-stakes elections and the oncoming gloomy winter weather, it's important to take care of your mental health.
According to the American Psychological Association, about 77% of U.S. adults said the future of the nation was a significant source of stress in their lives. Additionally, 74% of adults were worried that election results could lead to violence and 56% were concerned the 2024 election could be the end of democracy in the U.S.
