March Study Points to Pervasive Mental Illness Among White American Liberals
March Study Points to Pervasive Mental Illness Among White American Liberals
Survey data from a March Pew poll indicates that white liberals disproportionately suffer from mental illness.
Nearly half of self-identifying white liberals between the ages of 18 and 29 reported telling a doctor or a healthcare provider that they have a mental health condition.
Only 20.9% of white conservatives in the same category reported as such.
Answers on disclosing mental health conditions varied considerably by race, even in the "very liberal" category of poll respondents. 19% of "very liberal" Americans who didn't identify as white reported disclosing a mental health condition to a healthcare provider, and a whopping 38% of "very liberal" White Americans reported doing so.

I'm not surprised that non-white liberals have a lower rate of mental illness - after all, it would make perfect sense for a black person to believe that black people are disadvantaged and white people are privileged. But when a white liberal has to internalize a "white people bad" message year in and year out, that takes a toll on the mind.

I didn't need a scientific study to know that.
Seriously though, you can tell many liberals have mental problems.

I thought being liberal WAS a mental illness?

I suppose there's some correlation between income level and various problems including mental ones. And there's a correlation between income level and a liberal/conservative political affiliation. I'm sure that that doesn't explain it fully though.
What concerns me more is how the numbers get higher the younger people are.

No surprises when liberals embrace idiotic beliefs. It makes sense that it affects the younger generation more as the second generation gets hit worse

In a wider sense than just politics, that is probably true.
