i think liberals in general are more mentally disturbed because they realize they are wrong about all the issues so they force their brain to delude itself. That is stressful over time. Being right all the time like conservatives are feels good for our mental state and self esteem. Seeing evidence and facts back up our views helps us enjoy the world more. This shows that men and women are more crazy the more liberal they are.

Here's what I've noticed

Left: Tries to redeem nature through denial. Censorship and cognitive dissonance are essential to maintaining the delusion. Nature isn't the reason life sucks, it's really all because of white men or the patriarchy or rich people or whatever.

Current right: Tries to redeem nature by absurdly redefining good and bad, right and wrong. Whatever it does is considered right and good, so that it can do no wrong. This unfortunately provides justification for some heinous acts.

Both: Identify a common enemy to use as a scapegoat. All problems exist because of them, not because we just live in a horrible world. It's all their fault. Both also want absolute power and death to all who oppose them, and think this is the will of nature or whatever their force of good is.

No one is willing to admit the obvious truth that the world is inherently a bad place. I can't say I blame them, life without the rose colored glasses is excruciatingly painful. I suppose the (recent) right can cope better than the left because it's easier to lie to yourself about morality than about hard cold facts that are right in front of you. Not that the left is moral, but their morality doesn't align with nature's, whereas the right's does.

in truth the right and left we have here and in most countries are both used by the rich to control us. You see some go outside of the lines and get criticized, I like some leftwing journalists but those ones get ostracized by the establishment and even get called rw just cuz of that. Yeah so the world is a bad place and bad things need to be done to fix it such as guillotining the rich but if you say that in public or regular social media you get censored or arrested.
