Interesting. I suppose I'm in this statistic, since I've been called conservative many times and have manic depression.
Personally, I don't think it's the illness itself that makes some people so insane. It's their ideology. Leftism is an abandonment of rational thought and concrete concepts. It makes feelings the be-all and end-all of human intellect. Such people are ill fit to be the population of civilized society.
Take God out of the human condition and all that is left is a fallen individual without hope. No wonder so many liberals have lost their minds.
And we should keep in mind that females are more likely to seek mental health care than males are.
Granted, the relatively low opinion I confess to having about many licensed people in Psychiatry, Psychology, or mental health in general, which as people should be reminded, is composed of greater than 70% females. (Which is not healthy for men, as different as men and women are.
That is a very cogent and on-target observation, FRiend.
