If you’ve ever had the misfortune to unwittingly sign up as a naïve adolescent for a sociology course at a mid-sized state university, waited too long to withdraw during the add/drop period, and so were forced to sit through a semester’s worth of frothing diatribes against the White Patriarchy delivered by a menopausal hippie divorcée with a neon-dyed bowl cut, as I have, these are the least surprising poll results in human history:
“The US polling, which was conducted as part of the 2022 American Family Survey, found that liberals were about 18 percentage points less likely to be “completely satisfied” with their “mental health” than conservatives. The problem seems to be particularly acute for liberal women, who registered the lowest levels of satisfaction with their lives and mental health.”
Parsing the data, sociologist W. Bradford Wilcox concluded that marriage and family status have a lot to do with the ideological and gender discrepancy: “Given that conservatives aged 18-55 are about 20 percentage points more likely to be married, as well as 18 percentage points more likely to be satisfied with their families, the lesson here is obvious. Marriage and family are strongly linked to happiness and to personal mental health in particular.”
Another study established a connection between religiosity, which conservatives possess in greater abundance, and more optimal mental health outcomes.
These assessments are probably at least partially accurate, but perhaps there’s a newer, independent variable worth exploring that’s sprung up in the last two years.
Over-educated liberal women were already way more neurotic than the general population before COVID-19 struck. But based on other polling data published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the nonstop Public Health© fearmongering likely worsened that demographic’s mental health,

I think it’s kind of a catch 22. Normally you do not get into the field of mental health unless you are ****ed up in some ways yourself. A “normal” person usually would find another career instead of doing mental health. But like you said, we need more sane minds in this field.
Psychology is a gravy academic. It attracts lazy and/or stupid slackers. That, plus the fact that what is an absolute today might be discarded tomorrow.
What an idiotic field. No wonder their practitioners are insane.
What’s a woman?
Liberal (actually they are psychotic communist man-hating frauds) women embrace the lie of Satan in usurping man’s rightful role in the family and society.
If you look at the list of 99% of all the major feminists, it’s essentially ugly Jewish women lesbians who are undermining our society with their evil.

Not. A. Shocker.
Thanks for the news, Captain Obvious.
Liberal men running a close second!
“Liberal men running a close second”
Liberal men ARE women
Their skinny neurotic energy makes for good sex for a couple of days, or however many days you can tolerate them until their craziness becomes too hysterical and exhausting.
In most cases, look no further than the cat box.
Wisdom of the Founding Fathers
Repeal XIX
"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's"
They have no god. They render everything to government, which is dysfunctional, corrupt and completely inadequate at delivering what they want. They have replaced God with something completely unfulfilling. In short, there is absolutely nothing to look up to, nothing to strive to be like, nothing greater than themselves. That is hopeless. It leads to mental illness.
having students take over and discuss issues is not uncommon.
The professor gets the discussion going and then heads to the faculty lounge for fifteens minutes or so-has coffee and chats with other profs then heads back to the class. Listens to a few students and then wraps the course up for the day.
According to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Actualization, liberal women never get to the Level 5, actualization because they can’t get to Level 1 which is sanity..
Little pills may not be a cure all. They’re better treatment then validating and enabling mental illness because that’s what passes for treatment now!
What a surprise….
Exactly right. Psychologists and psychiatrists are basically the priesthood of secular society. Having a session with them is their version of the confessional. They’d be much better off going to the real thing or talking things over with a clergyman but they long ago rejected that so they are left with their fellow crazies to work things out.
“I truly believe that very many people take psychology classes just to figure out why they themselves are crazy.”
I was taking engineering classes and they made me take a pysch course?
Good one!
