Since President Emmanuel Macron announced new elections, French psychologists and psychiatrists have seen an increase in consultations and signs of stress, anxiety, and worry among their patients, writes the newspaper Le Monde.

Several people describe having a lump in their stomach, difficulty sleeping, low mood, and depression.

Although the doctors' observations have not been statistically proven, it is clear that many people experience the political climate in the country as difficult, writes the newspaper.

In recent times, the media has been trumpeting headlines such as: "An extremely dangerous election for the country", "France on the brink", "High risk of government crisis", "Chaos before the OS" and "Risk of riots and violent demonstrations".

Many political analysts have, on the other hand, described President Macron's decision as a "psychological coup d'état".

It was on June 9 that Macron surprisingly dissolved parliament and announced new elections after the setback in the EU parliamentary election. The second round of the parliamentary election is being held on Sunday.
