Maybe the Crazy Leftists are Just Depressed!

New treatment practices have grown up over the last twenty-years, utilizing the concepts of "cognitive behavior therapy."

According to multiple scientific studies, the mental and emotional health of politically left leaning women has dropped the most and the fastest of any group of people over the last ten years.

This state of affairs is well known, having recently been noted in legacy mass media and scientific journals including:

• The March 14th, 2024 Willey’s online paper, “Construction and validation of a scale for assessing critical social justice attitudes.”

• The March 17th, 2024 PysPost story, “Study: “Woke” attitudes linked to anxiety, depression, and a lack of happiness.”

• The May 8th, 2024 New York Times post, “Opinion | The Happiness Gap Between Left and Right Isn’t Closing.”

But while the above stories suggest that this is a new phenomena, the March 9th, 2023 After Babel post, “Why the Mental Health of Liberal Girls Sank First and Fastest,” notes that the situation was recognized and understood over two decades ago but only grew into a “pandemic” in universities after 2015.
