The splits between liberal and conservative whites are pretty jarring.

What a waste of money on this study. Observation and common sense would tell us this.

Clearly this is true. You have to be a depressed narcissist to be a white liberal.

I’d like to see one more demographic breakdown on that.

My guess is there is a pretty significant gender gap.

So MORE THAN ONE THIRD of very liberal whites likely have a mental health condition.

We all knew this, but nice to see data to back up the REEEEEEEEEE!

most conservatives would never go to a psychiatrist.

this is just like the poll when al smith won a poll vs fdr. poll was in a magazine that costed more than a dinner.

"Has a doctor or other healthcare professional EVER told you that you have a mental health condition?"

Tell us where that is limited to psychiatrists.

Do you commonly make blanket statements about large varied groups of people?

You assholes are more bigoted than anybody.

Celtic, 56, token, and every other progfillth who frequent this board have had to cope with life’s challenges through therapy of some type whether it be depending on a pet, drugs, etc.. It is why they need someone or something( government) to stand in as their proxy. They will lie and deny, but every single one of the leftists on this board are weak both mentally and physically and have had to see a doctor or a psychiatrist to deal with the regular challenges and issues that strong men conquer on their own.

This has never been in dispute. The pure filth these lying liberals believe proves insanity.

62% of very liberal white people either don’t go to the doctor, have a horrible doctor or are lying...

This study could equally be saying that white liberals are more likely to go to get their mental health checked out in the first place, or are more willing to seek mental help. This is just the percent of people, period, who have been told they have a condition; to make the kind of conclusion you're making in the title, it would have to be the percent of mental health visits resulting in a diagnosis.

I would not be surprised if conservatives and non-whites are much, much less likely to seek mental health advice from doctors due to stigmas against it in those groups and relatively liberal (lol) opinions about mental health and what qualifies as a mental health condition (things like simple anxiety, or depression, or ADHD, or whatever) among liberals.
