Liberal vs. Conservative mental health study - what do you make of it?
by Brock Talon in
1. social

a pew study from 2020 (but one i just now came upon myself) reported that the more liberal you are, the more likely you are to have a mental health condition.

the worst suffering group are white females, ages 18-29 where over 56% have admitted to be described by their own doctors as having a mental health condition.

conservative females of the same age group suffer at less than half that number (27%).. while women tend to have more mental health problems than men (don't be mad at me for saying it, this is what the study reports) it is notable that liberal men have a higher percentage of mental health conditions than conservative women in the same age group.

i wanted to share this recent article by the dailymail.com which gave me a smile.

my wife actually found it first and told me "hey hon, i found this interesting article by the jws.

they talk about the things in your books about the bethel dungeon-like tunnels, you know, the old people bending hangers, commissaries and dinning rooms connected and all that...".

as a published author on amazon, i'm used to getting negative reviews from time to time.

it goes with the territory and i'm ok with it.

writing is an art form, so no art is liked by everyone.

Does money buy happiness and a longer life? You decide...

i poured over time magazine's sep 8-15 2014 edition article "who we are" and put together this spreadsheet on the results from their poll.

i found the statistics quite fascinating.. most people would say that "money doesn't buy happiness", but this poll seems to me to indicate the exact opposite of that.

it also correlates education levels with higher earning that result in that happiness.
