Researchers are starting to study the ways Democrats and Republicans
might think differently, but there's still not much data about the
links between political party and mental health. Does being a
Democrat — or a Republican — mean you're more prone to depression,
anxiety, or other mental ailments? To find out, BuzzFeed partnered
with SurveyMonkey to ask Americans about their political affiliation
and whether or not they'd ever been diagnosed with any of 12 mental
health conditions and learning disabilities. SurveyMonkey Audience
conducted the online survey exclusively for BuzzFeed, gathering a
randomly selected, nationally representative sample of 1,117 people.
The results:
Democrats were just under 4% more likely to report a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder than Republicans were.
They're about 5% more likely to have been diagnosed with attention
deficit disorder or ADHD.
Over 10% more likely to report a diagnosis of an anxiety disorder.
And close to 11% more likely to report a diagnosis of depression.
