I mean, I personally would not rate my mental health as excellent because I have been diagnosed with ADHD. However, that does not mean I do not have the mental faculty to make an intelligent observation and hold informed political beliefs, and so on. Then, there are many who would rate their mental health as excellent, who are really either in denial, or have deluded themselves into believing there is nothing wrong with them. The truth is, you can't make broad, sweeping statements based on people's personal opinions of themselves. As a counterexample, I might say that Democrats are less repressed and more willing to self examination, as shown by their more truthful response than the Republicans. Everything is a matter of perception. I think that you might be placing this into terms a little too black and white.
