A roundup of Gallup health polls over the past four years finds that Republicans are far more likely than Democrats to report having excellent mental health. The survey found that 58 percent of Republicans polled reported having excellent mental health. Only 38 percent of Democrats and 43 percent of Independents reported the same. The study concluded it was unclear why there was such a strong correlation, but the relationship between party affiliation and mental health was virtually constant even within categories of income, age, gender and other factors.

More like the republicans have more confidence I would tend to agree with this. I think the actually mental health is probably about equal.

Why else would I post here? Does this mean you are Republican or Democrat? From your posts I'd guess Democrat. If I had to choose, I am Republican. Voted for Bush both times. I regret it. On the other hand, Gore and Kerry were even worse options. I believe both parties are corrupt and are for big government. Obviously, Christianity has conservative values and morals. One isn't likely to find many conservative democrats. If there is truth to this study, it's probably because of liberal ungodliness that democrats believe in. But I think republicans have surely lost their way, they just seem like the better option when given only 2(this is a problem). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full article here said another way, 62% of democrats say they do not have excellent mental health. That is almost 2 out of every 3. This is their own assessment of themselves. I would have tended to think that income might play a role in depression, anxiety, but the study says it is constant within the categories. Very interesting.
