*NOTE: This condition has been observed in people whether their chosen candidate won or not.
Such as:
Wife, to her Doctor: "I'm worried about my husband. Ever since the 4th, he's just been sitting at home wandering through our New York Times or CNN for hours on end."
Doctor: "I wouldn't worry about it. He probably just has an acute case of PEWS. He should be back on his feet by the end of the week."
