Political change may be a source of stress and anxiety, research from the American Psychological Association confirms.

Stay informed, but recognize if you need to take a break from watching or reading political news.
Recognize similar beliefs with others, even if they do not fully share your viewpoints.
Get involved in your community.
Take care of yourself by eating properly and getting plenty of sleep.
