How are you guys dealing with patients presenting with heightened anxiety in light of the political climate?

Asking since I'm curious to hear different perspectives. I've had plenty of my formerly stable patients experience an increase in anxiety, leading to sleep dysfunction and impaired performance at work and school. In an ideal world, we would get them plugged into a good CBT program and have them deal with it that way.

Since we're in the real world, what are you guys doing in the meantime while they get in to see someone? On the one hand, I don't want to be reactionary and add/adjust meds for what seems to be a pretty normal reaction to an extent but then if they claim it is impacting sleep/work/social life I do think that warrants treatment. So I take it in a case by case basis but I'd still love to hear from you all to see how the others are handling these cases
