current President’s Performance. lack of Morals, Ethics, Empathy or respect for our Laws that makes them…as well as Democrats and many Republicans…upset and angry with what he’s doing to our country…

Pretty Obvious…if you know what to look for…;-)

If the Iranian peace deal holds the economy will soar and independents will be happy.

Dems, however, will remain miserable human beings no matter what happens.

Restated...Liberals are more likely to admit and seek treatment than Conservatives...to the point where this study found no appreciable gap between the two ideologies.

Meanwhile, we still have a very disturbed President and his Sycophants/Followers...that are driving everyone else 'Nuts' ;-)

If something seems too good to be true, you really should stop and question the source before posting in support of it. Turns out, Curly should have as well, since that source is the epitome of 'Fake News'..."PJ Media".

I've attached the Wiki link summarizing its history, but for your convenience, here is the majority of it...Note the consistent pattern of False claims/statements by PJ Media...and note as well the repeated references to PJ Media contributor, Matt Margolis...the author of Curly's selection.

Dig even deeper and you'll find that the 'Study' being referenced is from 'Springer Science', which has its own long history of Retractions for Fraudulent 'Peer Reviews'...I'll leave it to you to try and refute those findings.

I'll leave my post just as is...in this thread.

PJ Media, originally known as Pajamas Media, is an American right-wing[1] subscription-based[2] commentary website. It was founded in 2004, with its majority owner being software entrepreneur, billionaire[3] and angel investor Aubrey Chernick, founder of Candle Corporation (acquired by IBM).[4] Salem Media Group acquired the company in March 2019.[5] PJ Media also operated the online television and video network PJTV, which ceased operations on May 11, 2016.[4]

History
PJ Media was founded as Pajamas Media in 2004 by Charles Johnson, the blogger behind Little Green Footballs, and screenwriter and producer Roger L. Simon, after Johnson's contribution to the Killian documents controversy investigation in 2004, in which he helped lead to the retraction of a 60 Minutes story critical of President George W. Bush's service in the Air National Guard and Dan Rather's resignation from CBS News. Johnson and Simon set out to challenge the mainstream media with a network of citizen-journalists.[6][7][8] The network was primarily made up of conservatives and libertarians.[9] The network's original name was derived from a dismissive comment made by former CBS news executive Jonathan Klein during the 2004 Killian documents affair: "You couldn't have a starker contrast between the multiple layers of checks and balances at 60 Minutes and a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas."[10][11]

Pajamas Media received venture capital funding on 14 November 2005. Pajamas used this funding for its operations and marketing while expanding its news and opinion coverage. Investors in this round of financing included Aubrey Chernick, an angel investor and technology entrepreneur, James Koshland, a venture capitalist, and a partnership formed by DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary.[12] It rebranded as Open Source Media shortly thereafter and had a launch party that included a keynote address by former New York Times journalist Judith Miller, presentations from John Podhoretz of Commentary magazine, Andrew Breitbart, Elizabeth Hayt of the New York Times, David Corn of The Nation and others. Less than a week after its official launch Open Source Media changed its name back to Pajamas Media after discovering that Public Radio International distributed a radio show called Open Source produced by Open Source Media, Inc.[13]

Johnson and Pajamas split in 2007 by mutual agreement; Johnson's stake was bought out.[14][15] In October 2011, Pajamas Media changed its name to PJ Media.[16] In September 2013, former congressman Allen West left PJ Media after he had an altercation with a female staffer and allegedly called her a "Jewish American princess".[17] West denied being fired and said he left voluntarily.[17]

False claims
In August 2018, PJ Media published an article by then supervising editor Paula Bolyard,[18] claiming that Google was manipulating its algorithm to prioritize left-leaning news outlets in their coverage of President Trump.[19] Bolyard acknowledged that her study was "not scientific", although she did conclude that "the results suggest a pattern of bias against right-leaning content." PolitiFact rated this claim as false.[20]

In January 2019, PJ Media published a column by their senior editor Tyler O'Neil[21] in which he insinuated in his article that a Muslim community patrol in New York City might be enforcing Sharia Law and might be linked to the NYPD.[22] This group, the Muslim Community Patrol Service (MCPS)[23] was a certified volunteer Neighborhood watch in Brooklyn, a NYC CERT[24] along with other community patrols such as the Brooklyn Asian Safety Patrol[25] and the Guardian Angels. PJ Media offered nothing that demonstrated the MCPS could, or planned to, "enforce Sharia law", beyond engaging in the speculative hypothetical that the MCPS might somehow "apply [...] Sharia in its community monitoring." Snopes rated this claim false.[26]

In February 2019, PJ Media published a column by one of their writers John Hawkins,[27] also creator of Rightwingnews, in which he stated in an article titled "The Six Most Bizarre Proposals from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal",[28] making five out of six claims such as "getting rid of airplanes" or "getting rid of cows", aim to "get rid of gas-powered cars in a decade", call for eliminating carbon emissions in ten years "without the use of nuclear power", or "promise 'economic security' for those 'unwilling to work'". Fact checkers from NewsGuard rated these five claims false,[29] which can be further verified by the official government resolution H.Res.109 Green New Deal proposed by Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.[30]

In January 2020, PJ Media published a column by one of their writers,[31] Robert Spencer, also founder and director of the anti-Muslim conspiracy blog Jihad Watch, in which he stated that congresswoman Ilhan Omar had given Iran military advice by suggesting it could target Trump hotels, and thus committed treason.[32] Snopes rated this claim false.[33]

In February 2020, PJ Media published a column by Victoria Taft, one of their writers[34] and a conservative talk show host,[35] in which she stated that President Barack Obama waited until millions were infected and 1000 dead in the U.S. before he declared the Pandemic H1N1/09 virus an emergency.[36] Snopes rated this claim false.[37]

According to NewsGuard,[38] articles on PJMedia.com have frequently included distorted or misleading claims,[39] including about the COVID-19 pandemic. A now deleted July 2020 article written by Matt Margolis headlined "COVID-19 May Soon Lose Status as an 'Epidemic' Under CDC Guidelines",[40] promoted a misleading claim originally published by JustTheNews.com. Many other websites reported this story by PJ Media.[41][42] After the fact, PJ Media never issued a correction to their original story, but only an update with changes and a new headline "COVID-19 Will Not Soon Lose Status as an 'Epidemic' Under the CDC".[43]

In August, 2020, PJ Media published an article by their Chicago editor Rick Moran,[44] claiming Democrats were urging presidential candidate Joe Biden not to debate with President Trump because they were concerned with the former vice president's mental stamina.[45] The source for this claim cited on the PJ Media article was from Newsweek, but the article states that the former vice president was advised not to debate Trump, citing "publicity stunts and disregard for the rules in 2016" as well as cancelling debates over concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic.[46] Furthermore, the Newsweek article cited by PJ Media makes no mention about any mental stamina. According to CNN, Biden spokesman TJ Ducklo stated that presidential candidate Biden has already agreed to three debates with President Trump in fall 2020.[47]

In September 2020, PJ Media published an article by senior editor Tyler O'Neil,[48] claiming that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden was promising fewer fires, floods, and hurricanes if he should defeat Donald Trump in November.[49] Though Biden did promise he would solve the climate crisis if elected in November, he did not literally promise fewer catastrophic events. Fact checkers at Snopes rated this claim as false.[50]

In September 2022, PJ Media blogger Matt Margolis was the originator of a claim made in a PJ Media article that “The Obama Foundation stored classified documents in an abandoned furniture warehouse.[51] Snopes[52] called this out as a false claim as both classified and unclassified records from the Obama presidency were temporarily located in Hoffman Estates, a suburb of Chicago, in a building that used to be an old furniture store. However, while the Obama Foundation provided funds to move and store those records, it had neither possession nor control of them, given that they were in the custody of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) from the day Obama left office. What the PJ Media article failed to mention is that this was an agreement in which the foundation provided funds to move documents, but did not state that the foundation had control or access to those documents. After further research and scrutiny from other fact-checkers such as USA Today,[53] PJ Media later admitted they made a false claim.[54]

Of course your (and your vaunted ID doc's) ignorance on Dr. Risch's HCQ+ research and the effectiveness of HCQ+ will always be front and center, but this is in the ballpark with PJ Media in this instance.

They are reporting directly on a study done by two respected universities. A simple Google search confirms other studies showing the same thing.

The reason is obvious. Liberalism is emotion-based, so therefore emotional health plays a much larger role among the left. And when you're constantly thinking and being told the world is racist, bigoted, unfair, etc., of course emotion-based individuals' mental health will take a greater hit.

the folks at the FDA, WHO, Yale and the American Journal of Epidemiology.

As for Curly’s post, reread the False Claims made by the author and the admitted fraudulent “peer reviews”…I.e. every element in the chain is corrupted.

Recommendation…find a study from a “High Impact” source like the NEJM, Lancet, JAMA or a major hospital like the Mayo Clinic.

Comparing 2 school districts to 78?

Meanwhile, when I pointed out in Georgia, Chatham County schools had a mask mandate and neighboring Effingham County didn't and Effingham had lower Covid rates, you ignored it. When I pointed out my oldest kid's school had a mask mandate while my youngest kid's didn't and infection rates were identical, you ignored it. When I pointed out across the entire state of South Carolina that school districts with mask mandates had identical rates of infection as districts that didn't, you ignored it.

Anyway, I found sources such as Columbia, the NIH and Psychology Today that also cite research that liberals have more mental illness.

...again...

>Total Students in 72 Districts:...294,084 students
>Boston and Chelsea Students:...52,243 students
>Calculation...52,243/294,084 = 0.178

and a 17.8% sample size is considered "Excellent" for Statistical Purposes...moreover, the Absolute Number of subjects is also excellent (i.e. >1,000)

Be a Stand Up Guy, and just admit that you erred in failing to note the actual statistics involved in the NEJM study...

Abstract

American conservatives tend to rate their mental health more positively than their liberal counterparts. One explanation for this finding is that conservatives may be more likely to justify existing inequalities in society, leading to a palliative effect on their mental health that does not happen for liberals. Conservatives also score higher on personality and attitude measures, such as religiosity, marital status, and patriotism, which are associated with better mental health. We examine whether this ideological mental health gap holds for a different facet of well-being that is closely related to mental health. Further, we suggest that the ideological mental health gap may have more to do with a stigmatized reaction to the term “mental health” which has become increasingly politicized in the US context since its introduction to literature in the early 20th century. First, we examine whether the conservative-liberal divide in self-assessments of mental health remains once we control for a wide variety of demographics, socioeconomic factors, and recent life experiences. We find that accounting for these alternative explanations reduces the gap by about 40%, but that ideology remains a strong predictor of mental health self-reports. Second, we conducted an experiment where we randomly assigned whether people were asked to evaluate their mental health or their overall mood. While conservatives report much higher mental health ratings, asking instead about overall mood eliminated the gap between liberals and conservatives. One explanation is that rather than a genuine mental health divide, conservatives may inflate their mental health ratings when asked, due to stigma surrounding the term. Another possibility is that ideological differences persist for some aspects of mental well-being, but not others.
-------------------

In other words, Conservatives tend not acknowledge their mental problems for fear of stigmatizing themselves...rather than seek needed help. A notable example is Donald J. Trump...their leader.
