      Well Liberals are much more likely to be mentally ill, so I suspect that is true.

        Or perhaps more likely to seek help and take psychologists and counselors seriously. There’s been a big shift in willingness to accept that one might have a mental illness within the past couple of generations.

                Only if you actually understand the studies, analyses, caveats, potential biases, and possible reasons for the results, which you don’t seem to have taken into account. Assuming you’re actually citing reliable research, which is unlikely, based on my experiences here. Again, it seems likely that conservatives lead in undiagnosed mental illnesses, which makes sense given the poor access to health care in many conservative majority states, and lower willingness to have their mental health evaluated.
