How to deal with election anger? Try a little tenderness

TheConversation: As we move closer to Election Day, many of us are breathing a sigh of relief, but there is another mood percolating. Many of us feel anger, a deep, fire in the belly anger that it has come to this. We may feel like caged lions, spitting mad, but told to quiet down, be civil and act nice. That seems like excellent advice, given the harm caused by rage, hostility, aggression, but, in reality, the stress we feel from the campaign is not likely to fade and that ongoing political climate could become a continuing assault to our well-being.

Anger possibly linked with non-fatal heart attacks

NHS. UK: "'Plate-throwing rage' raises heart attack risk nearly 10 fold," The Daily Telegraph reports, slightly inaccurately. This headline reports on a study that found that just seven out of 313 people had felt "very angry" in the two hours before a heart attack compared to their normal levels of anger. Despite the headline, none of the participants had felt furious or angry to the point of throwing plates or any other objects.
