re: Why are liberal white women such an unhinged segment of the population?

I sometimes wonder if we white people are more prone to mental issues than other races. I've known a lot of (white) people that have committed suicide over the years. Do other races do that like us?

Sounds to me like you just know a lot of white people and that impacts your research. Mental health issues impact all communities.

Personally, I’ve been very close with a number of African-American women and all of them took/take antidepressants. I assume this is quite common in the black community. And having seen some of the issues they have to deal with on a daily basis, I can see the reasoning behind the depression.

I’d be curious to know the percentages of Native American women on reservations that deal with depression and anxiety due to poverty, high instances of violence, isolation, etc.
