These results suggest that mental health professionals may need to pay closer attention to the emotional toll of election periods, particularly among young adults.

I think you'll find that the real mental health impact comes post election, when people are under the regime, even more so than when the party is not yet in power.

When people's rights are actively being taken away, every day is a chaotic mess with the knowledge that your livelihood, your health or your legal status is at constant risk of being taken away.
