Now, we have further confirmation of mental disorders suffered by leftists across America at far higher rates than Conservatives.

People in Blue States seek psychiatric help 50% more often than in Red States.
Newsmachete

People who live in liberal states search for psychologists on Google 50% more, per capita, than people from conservative states. Vermont has the most searchers for mental health help, at 74% greater than the national average, which makes sense, since it is a far-left state with a socialist Senator, Bernie Sanders, who likes to talk about the joys of rape. People in liberal Massachusetts and far-left New York search 55% and 56% more often for therapists as well (California, which you would expect to be worst of all, is "only" 41% above average). By contrast, in Idaho, (adjusted for population size), people search 51% less often for therapists, 34% less often in Wyoming, and 29% less in Oklahoma. There is also an astonishing 76% more therapists per capita in Blue States.

If you read the Times article about this they will be quick to say that every one needs therapy in equal amounts and it's just that the people in Red states aren't getting as much. I have a different interpretation. People in Blue states are more likely to be liberals, and liberals are more likely to be mentally ill. Liberals suffer from:

1) Phobias, such as fears that they are destroying the Earth (when in reality, they are only destroying America)

2) Guilt, for being white or male or having a job or earning money

3) Unhappiness with their bodies or sexuality, due to schizophrenia or gender identity disorder

4) Greed and envy, towards other people's property

5) Anger towards people of different genders or races

and so on. Is it any wonder that they need psychological counseling more often, when their whole ideology is based various forms of mental disorders? Just take so-called "Transgenderism." The small percentage of people who have it are clearly mentally ill, but instead of treating it like an illness, the media and educators in Blue States treat it like something that should be fashionable, and actually promote this sort of illness to others. The culture there teaches people, in (other words}, to embrace these mental disorders. Today it's Bruce Jenner on the cover of Vogue; what will it be tomorrow, someone else celebrating the joys of schizophrenia? Paranoia?

Vermont is right behind California in the ranking of happiest states:

12. California: 62.8

13. Vermont: 62.7 http://www.livescience.com/49864-happiest-states-2014-full-list.html

Better solve that conundrum before you assume that searches for mental health implies that there's mental disease. It beats Florida by 13 rankings.

"Well-being scores are based on participants' answers to questions about their sense of purpose, social relationships, financial lives, community involvement and physical health".

You continue to be definitions challenged.

Happiness was not listed in the things being ranked by the so called poll you cite.

If their version of happiness encompasses those things, then guess what...happiness is exactly what's being ranked in that poll I cite.

Let's continue this polling of who's better off, shall we?

It looks like Red Southern states are the worst off healthwise: http://www.americashealthrankings.org/reports/annual
Which means that the places where people search for therapy are states in which there is infrastructure to handle that demand. Florida (32) and Texas (31) are both shiny, happy, wealthy Red states, and yet both are far behind Blue states California (17) and New York (14).

Massachusetts, Vermont, and Hawaii were the top three healthy states in this article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/13/most-healthy-states_n_6320630.html

What was the idiot writer of the original post was trying to say about Vermont?

You, who cannot define the common word MOST, who cannot divine the difference between...

"sense of purpose, social relationships, financial lives, community involvement and physical health" vs HAPPINESS has the unmitigated gall to say "seriously" to me?

Whatever common sense...or other sense you ever possessed has escaped you.

You specifically said the poll rates "happiness" when the poll parameters don't mention "happiness" at all.

I've never met a "happy" leftist...or even heard of one.

Leftists are forever wheezing, whining, screeching, howling and shrieking about something...and usually several things at the same time.

This is a hilariously ironic thing for you to post. You post more whiny BS than anyone else EVER has here.

Leftists are the "downers" in every society, the "perpetual dark clouds" instead of the silver lining, the "glass is empty" crowd.

This also isn't about "happiness" in other nations. Another screw-up.

Let's call that a two-fer!
