Dr. Charles Sophy — one of the leading psychiatrists in the country – has a scary outlook on the direction America’s heading — downright terrifying — but on the bright side … he thinks we can turn it around.

The famous shrink joined ” Live” Friday, and we wanted to know … why all the craziness right now?! It seems even the smallest thing sends people into a rage.

Unfortunately, Dr. Sophy thinks it’s gonna get worse … because we’re in a perfect storm of chaos.

The way the doc describes it, people are lashing out because they feel contained, caged, and they don’t have control of their lives … due largely in part to COVID-19, but also because of the ever-pronounced divisions in this country.

The question no one can answer — what will the next 6 months hold? Scary to even ponder.
