Mental illness and the left?

[Taylor_C]

Apparently some research shows there is a connection between mental health issues and left wing political views. Your thoughts, please? :)

I believe right now under the Trump Administration there is not
much going on with improving the mental health system for the
mentally disabled. We never get a mental health evaluation like
we should from our doctors. We go in and tell the doctor we are
having mood swings and visual hallucinations , he makes some
adjustments in our medications but your left to do everything on
your own they don't care. All medicaid does is treat people like
we cattle in meat wagons and there is some doctors who only
spend 10 minutes with their patients / clients out the door you go
yes someone is to blame , if it's the Democrats, they are doing a
shitty job with healthcare for people?

Thanks for most helpful guy :)

From a site that does not charge fees for putting content on the site and does not require peer review. So, it's bullshit. Scientifically speaking.

ResearchGate also brings you such important documents as: "Analysis and Qualitative Effects of Large Breasts on Aerodynamic Performance and Wake of a “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” Character".

Are you even aware of what kind of person you just cited? He's a white supremacist EUGENICIST (you know, that thing that the Nazis believed in) whom most scientific journals refuse to publish because of his highly unscientific methods. He's known for mostly citing himself in his works and to not properly peer-review them.

What are you gonna cite next? Mein Kampf?

What a reliable source this Emil Kirkegaard is.

Go figure that a right winger would think left wingers are mentally ill. What a revelation.

[Pamina]

But a fascist eugenicist is a totally legitimate source here on GaG, apparently.

@Pamina Being published on reasearchgate means being peer reviewed. And you really shouldn't use an online wiki as a source.

Of course they're mentally ill their unskilled unintelligent unable to do anything themselves so that's why they want the government to be their mommy and daddy and take care of them. Their beliefs are They are so stupid and unable to do anything the government needs to take care of them. They have massive victim complexes as well.

Yeah i read this article. So far it says that if you are more selfish your mental health is better. Which makes sense.

I really think it's cause democrats are more receptive to those with mental illness, even though Republicans are more religious. Generally speaking, of course!

Tired of hearing this left vs right bullshit.

I want trump to lose not because i am a dem, but because i just want to see him on my morning news anymore.

[Rissyanne]

Well you might as well suck it up. He’s going to win

Assuming it is true, I wouldn't be surprised.

[Anonymous]

That is what I have found as well.

@CountessSarah What a reliable source this rationalwiki is when its board of trustees are as left as they come and elected by RationalWiki users.
Go figure that a left winger could ever be unbiased toward a right wingers research or opinion.

[Opinion Owner]

@Pamina did you get that from rationalwiki as well. It's impressive how much someone is willing to believe something if it lines up with what they favor.
