The Mental Illness Component of Progressivism

Power Line's Steven Hayward has a look-in at some data which shows:
Liberals are more than twice as likely as conservatives to be found to have a mental health condition.
We already understood this anecdotally, but it's nice to have data to buttress our impressions.

The findings seem to be based on self-report. You could argue the difference is the result of progressives being more willing to seek treatment,  more willing to admit a diagnosis of mental "difficulties," or both.
