    White Libs More Likely To Have Mental Health Problems

    This is no surprise, and I think we all know some one here who fits this diagnoses...Lol

    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.

    Nearly half of young white liberals (46 percent) reported being diagnosed with a mental health condition. That was significantly higher than the percentage of young white moderates (26 percent) and young white conservatives (21 percent) who reported a mental health diagnosis. Young white people who identified as "very liberal" were considerably more likely to report mental health problems, even compared with their peers who identified as liberal.

    White liberals are significantly more likely than other racial and ideological groups to be diagnosed with a mental health condition, according to science.

        To "our" three it possibly is, not to other's. Wonder how much of their illness started with chemical dependency?

            Both of us have seen plenty of this and it begs the question of: Did the mental illness cause the self medicating or the reverse?
