Harvard’s Arthur Brooks dropped some eye-opening stats about mental health and happiness in politics, and let’s just say it’s not looking great for some groups:

Brooks:

“White liberal women under 30 have almost a 6 in 10 chance of having been diagnosed with a mental illness in America today.

Liberal women have overtaken liberal men as the unhappiest group.”

Meanwhile, “conservative women are particularly blissful,” with 40% saying they’re very happy—putting them ahead of conservative men and leaving liberal women far behind in the joy department.

And liberal men?

Brooks:

“Only about a fifth consider themselves very happy.”

Ouch.

Brooks isn’t saying conservatism is a cure-all, but the data makes one thing clear: not all ideologies are equal when it comes to smiles per capita.
