The Long View

DEAR MENTAL HEALTH PRACTITIONER,

I am a fairly high-ranking official with the World Bank. Recently, the current president of the United States nominated a totally unacceptable person to be the new head of our organization. The person he nominated-a prominent neoconservative-is widely credited with being the architect of America’s disastrous invasion of Iraq, as well as its bellicose stance toward the nations of Iran, Syria, and North Korea. Given that the World Bank is an effective and crucial international institution, and given that I will have to report to this person on a weekly if not daily basis, I’m wondering which specific anti-anxiety medication you recommend.
