White liberals more likely to have a mental health condition

Yet, there's a lot of drawbacks to believing in liberalism.

The entire ideology 'forces its followers to wallow in feelings of helplessness and victimhood,' Evie noted, as opposed to 'building resiliency against hardship,' which helps combat depression.

Evie was also quick to point out liberals may also be more susceptible to 'White guilt and savior narratives,' which brings them down, especially given last summer's continued Black Lives Matter riots.

Misinformation may also be fueling their decline in mental health. Americans who identify as liberal or very liberal believe 1,000 or more unarmed Black men were murdered by police in 2019, according to a survey produced by Skeptic.com. In reality, only 12 were. Yet, this perception reinforces their belief in their 'White privilege,' and continued self-loathing.
