White Libs More Likely To Have Mental Health Problems

   Here is a study that makes perfect sense to me.
   
   "White liberals are significantly more likely than other racial and ideological groups to be diagnosed with a mental health condition, according to science.
   
   The findings, from a Pew Research Center survey published in March 2020, were the subject of a recent Twitter thread that inspired an Evie Magazine article on the possible "scientific correlation" between progressive ideas and mental illness.
   
   According to the survey, white liberals of all ages were more likely to have been diagnosed with a mental health condition compared with their moderate and conservatives peers. The disparity was especially pronounced among young people aged 18-29, the most annoying demographic and the one with the worst opinions, generally speaking."

      Is it because liberals, particularly young ones, are more likely to express, and seek help, for their emotional problems than conservatives are?  I'm thinking of colleges that have to provide "safe zones" for students seeing "Vote Trump" scrawled with sidewalk chalk and other such terrible emotional upsets.
      
      If you don't seek help, and don't scream out that you have a problem, you won't be diagnosed.

         Is it also possible you don't have a problem?

            Possible - I've never consulted a mental health professional, preferring to fight through my problems by myself. 
            
            I've never had a physical reason for mental problems, but that's not the type of thing I was referring to, either.

      MG, Do you doubt the study?  Do you not think it is valid? All the white libs I've known...and I'm related to a few...see more than a bit off.

   I found by first hand experiences and knowing enough about poli-tricks and religion help me understand what is health and what worldchampion BSers. Been worldclass in sports and arts for decades and found tbrough life experiences that love and organic foods are my Gods. Left and right politicians are the same predator bird.
