A new survey of more than 8,000 people has found that those who identify with left-wing political beliefs are more likely to have been diagnosed with a mental illness.
Ann Coulter’s “liberalism is a mental disorder” catchphrase has become something of a clichéd meme, but the data appears to support it.
Carried out by Slate Star Codex, the online survey collected a wealth of data from respondents about their education, demographic, lifestyle and political views.
The results show that people who occupy the farther left end of the political spectrum are more likely to have been “formally diagnosed with depression, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.”

They’re more likely to recognise they have a mental illness.

You should listen to yourself Whodey - You, and the rest of the Trump Supporters here spent most of 2017 and 2018 telling us surveys and polls are meaningless because a few of them predicted Trump would lose the election, now you dig up a grand total of one survey that tells you what you want to hear, and you display it in these forums like it's the gospel of Jesus Christ.

You're a small man Whodey, a small man-

Summit News is a far right conspiracy website. Like most questionable
sources this website does not have an about page nor disclosure of
ownership. The primary writer appears to be Paul Joseph Watson,
who is a former editor for the conspiracy website Infowars.

You didn't even look at the source of the data did you?

This bona fide site has had to produce this because of right-wing nonsense!

This is as bad as AmRen. Whodey, why in hell can't you EVER use a reputable source?

Oh, yeah, then you can't present your alt-right whackadoodle BS as factual news.

THIS is what "fake news" is all about, people.

Add to that that the right is full of liars, and suddenly, no one's surprised.

You're right of course, it did not come from the Huffington Post or CNN.

What was I thinking?

The post that was quoted here has been removed
You mean like the conservatives who filed a law suit against Obama's IRS for targeting them and winning?

I reckon the legal system is mentally ill as well.

I will say those who are mentally ill gravitate towards illicit drugs and democrats are the ones trying to legalize them.

The question becomes, what came first, the chicken or the egg?
