Post-Election Selection Trauma or PEST for short, is a made up disorder for pompus, self-centered, elitist individuals that can't fathom the fact that they lost an election. It is mainly experienced by liberals and French lovers alike, and was first diagnosed after the 2004 Presidential Election. It's symptoms include but are not limited to: feelings of withdrawal, feelings of isolation, emotional anger and bitterness, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, nightmares, pervasive moodiness including endless sulking, and being excessively worried about the direction of the country.
In otherwords, the diagnosis is "You're a Sore Loser, get over it."

(a new, mythical, mental disorder defined after Donald Trump won the presidency on Nov 8, 2016): a type of depression among voting age young adults 18-45, following the loss of your favorite political candidate at the federal elections, so severe that you are not socially, academically or legally functional anymore
Most left-leaning liberal social scientists, academics and pundits don't understand that IMHO this new, mythical post-election depression syndrome can actually be very easily cured; all one needs to do is consciously and rationally realize that your candidate lost and that retargerous actions such as civil disobedience, general violence, vandalism, destruction of property and other related forms of social protest are meaningless, making it more likely that you will get a file with the Unforegiveables.
