I would like to know where that study is Because I kind of believe it with the left wing. There is some extremism with the ring wing too

In my opinion, with narcissism and psycho pathic is involved it’s going to destroy the country. due to the fact that people make narcissism and sociopath simplistic when most people who have dealt with both of those character traits in people have said you don’t realize you’re in the deep end until it’s too late.

Youtube Communist Caleb Maupin: "Literally everyone I know is miserable right now"

This reminds me of a thread I came across a while back on Twitter (I can't find it right now, unfortunately) which aimed to show that leftwing women and men are more mentally ill than right wing women and men. Several scientists joined that thread and claimed that the study doesn't actually prove that the left is more mentally ill, but that it rather show "group-based attitudes to therapy", or the idea that leftwing people are more likely to seek help for mental health problems and get diagnosed due to having a positive attitude towards therapy, whereas rightwing people are more likely - due to the stigmatization of therapy and mental health - to repress or deny mental illness, and to rationalize pathological behaviours or symptoms.

Personally, I suspect the left mainly wants the diagnosis but not the cure, because the cure is often not what they really want to hear, or are willing/able to implement to help themselves...

Edit: Here's the study I was referring to, I found the tweet!

This was a typical response:

There was a study in Scandinavia that some journalists rephrased into: “educated people are more likely to get diagnosed with brain tumor”. Catchy headline, but it tells you that of you use a brain you are more likely to go and check if it is working properly.
