From what I've been seeing, this isn't the case. But I have no idea who is seeking help and who isn't. But based on thinking men can have a baby, TDS, screaming, etc...is how I'm making my judgement.
Looks like someone had another "gut feeling" without any evidence to base it on. You have to first believe that there are at least as many Young White Conservative Women with diagnosable mental problems as Liberals, but there's no evidence to support that premise. Without that, the "not as likely to seek treatment" hypothesis is false.
Liberals in general are not a happy group. They can't be happy, when climate change, big oil, abortion rights, right to free healthcare, right to get paid to not work (universal income), slavery reparations, transgender surgeries, pronouns, gender identity, the (mythical} "wage gap," racism, vaxed vs. non-vaxed, and so on are battering their psyche on a daily basis. Even my comments are taken as "violence" against them.
If they didn't have something to be angry about, they wouldn't be Liberals.
On the other hand, studies have shown that Conservatives tend to be more tolerant, less stressed and happier as a group. That mental state says a lot more than "maybe only Liberals go see psychiatrists when they feel bad."
Why Are Conservatives Happier Than Liberals?It may be one of the most surefire findings in all of social psychology, repeatedly
replicated over almost five decades of study: American conservatives say they are much
happier than American liberals. They also report greater meaning and purpose in their
lives, and higher overall life satisfaction. These links are so solidly evidenced that, for the
most part, modern social scientists simply try to explain them. They've put forth numerous
possible explanations.
There are a couple clear contributors to point out first. Marriage tends to make people
happier, and conservatives are more likely to be married. Religious belief is also linked to
happiness, and conservatives tend to be more religious.
But these explanations don't account for the entire gap, which equates to about a half-point
on a four-point scale, a sizable happiness divide.
Social psychologist Jaime Napier, Program Head of Psychology at NYU-Abu Dhabi has
conducted research suggesting that views about inequality play a role.
"One of the biggest correlates with happiness in our surveys was the belief of a meritocracy,
which is the belief that anybody who works hard can make it," she told PBS. "That was the
biggest predictor of happiness. That was also one of the biggest predictors of political ideology.
So, the conservatives were much higher on these meritocratic beliefs than liberals were."
To paraphrase, conservatives are less concerned with equality of outcomes and more with
equality of opportunity. While American liberals are depressed by inequalities in society,
conservatives are okay with them provided that everyone has roughly the same opportunities
to succeed. The latter is a more rosy and empowering view than the deterministic former.
