It should be compared to other large cities, not the nation as a whole. What do cities have besides more people and lawbreakers? How about more laws and regulations to make people go nuts?

I've also seen polls that Republicans are
happier than Democrats. It makes sense, then, that bluer areas of the country would correlate with "not good" mental health.

The whole urban megalopolis environment is, IMHO, quite contrary to what humans are genetically and emotionally prepared to deal with.
When I get stressed, I go stick my hands in the dirt and work in my garden. Had some lettuce plants go to seed last year, I'm gonna have to get a goat to take care of all the lettuce I got, it's even growing in my front yard!

Thirteen percent of adults who answered the city's survey last year reported that their mental health was "not good" on 14 or more days of the month Or it could represent all the Republicans in New York City and the pain of having to deal with so many liberal idiots around them.

I remember reading it years ago somewhere that when they kept increasing the rat density in cages, after certain threshold the rats went psychotic. Now, considering the RAT density in NYC, is it any wonder?

So, out of seven million New Yorkers, one million recognize themselves as mentally ill. Surely another million or two don't recognize mental illness, though they have it. This explains why Hillary and Chuckie are NY senators.

On the other hand, its Spring here in rural Ohio, and we're doing quite well, thank you very much!

Someone published a report 40 years ago that said most NooYawkers are flat out crazy! Nothing has changed.
