Post Pornographic Stress Disorder (PPSD) is a trauma related disorder caused by viewing highly disturbing, sexually explicit material. People affected with the disorder usually have reoccurring thoughts, flashbacks, and, in extreme cases, nightmares related to the material they observed. Individuals with the disorder will feel extreme discomfort, shame, disgust, and, in some cases, arousal when having mental images of the disturbing pornographic material. This can cause the individual extreme discontent with their life, and must be treated properly.
Diagnosis Criteria:
1. Individual has observed highly disturbing pornographic material. The material must show genitalia/partial nudity, and be highly disturbing to the sufferer (individual's sexual preference, and sensitivity to pornography can cause different causes of the disorder).
2. Individual has reoccurring and frequent flashbacks, mental images, and, in some cases, nightmares related to the sexually explicit material they viewed.
3. Reoccurring mental images cause the affected individual extreme disgust, shame, and, in more severe cases, disturbing arousal.
4. The individual has had these reoccurring mental images for at least one month, and the flashbacks show no sign of diminishing or causing desensitization to the affected individual.

A type of Headline Stress Disorder where an individual suffers from intense social and emotional stress, anxiety, depression, and social resentment during and, depending on the election results, shortly after election season for about a month or two. It is caused by the intense negativity of political campaigns, social media, and the media. Generally, women are more likely to get it than men.
Evan: Marissa has been very anxious and depressed lately for some reason. You wouldn’t happen to know why would you?
Timothy: She suffers from intense election stress disorder. Because election started three weeks ago, the media is already getting very nasty about it and the social media companies have already began showing political ads, which is stressing her out.
Evan: I wish I could help her somehow.
Timothy: I read online that being around to talk and support her emotionally can help as well as when you’re with her, try not to talk about politics.
Evan: Thanks, I’ll try that.
