Does over-education lead to mental illness?

[BigGuyTruth]

It seems that mental illness is more rampant in more educated people.

definitely a correlation, especially amongst the fake educated, ie. social science made up BS
over thinking and under action = mental illness

[Bodhy]

It's because intelligence leads to a greater propensity for mental illness. More intelligence means more overthinking and overanalysis.

Liberalism tends towards higher education as well, and academia is leaning heavily liberal these days.



Still, I'd rather be highly educated than be a low IQ tradie driving around with Trump stickers on my pickup, where my only reaction to any contrary position or argument would be to squeal like an angry baby.

[OliverHeldens]

Nah, mental illness is generally a response to some type of trauma. There are people in all different walks of life who experience trauma, but generally people who have been educated for longer have a better chance of being exposed to more positive influences who help them recognize their mental illness and encourage them to get help.

Do you really think a mentally ill person who works in a factory somewhere around other tradies is ever going to have someone call him out and push him to get help?

I'm not saying there aren't a lot of people in academia who aren't insufferable kunts to be around, but this isn't necessarily mental illness.

Fraudhy you barely graduated high school. All you can do these days is have gay sex with men in wigs or just masterbate to them (remember the librarian)

That's literally what it is right now though - are you trying to tell us you're on the same intellectual level as a "low IQ tradie"?

Got it.

[Ratfish]

you're thinking of marxism

[DuracellBunny]

You have it the wrong way round. Mentally ill people are more likely to become obsessive, look for answers, try and understand the world around them because it doesn't make sense to them etc. They are also more likely to become extremely ideological, whether political or religious.

If you want to see a bunch of fked up people, just look at female psychology majors.

Don't even get me started on Marx. Dude was a genius.

Or cognitive neuroscience majors.

There's a difference between indoctrination and mental illness, although they may go hand in hand.

Your posting clearly shows you have sub retard IQ levels though. Literally one of the dumbest mf'ers on the misc, and that's saying something.

Does higher intellect and smearing chit on walls have any correlation?

Spoiler!

you're not half as smart as you think you are

[Bodhy]

I'm cognitive science, technically, it encompasses more than neuroscience.

Does this poster ever do anything other than go around insulting leftists? I've literally never seen a post which wasn't some sassy comment or one-liner insult, then promptly disappears.

Could be worse. I could spend hundreds of hours on here arguing with people, trying to convince them i'm not a completely spastic fraud like you do. Such a massive loser. Sad.

[bsrkoacar2]

Not necessarily. I think if you got a law degree from Harvard 30 years ago, it wouldn't be infected with political "right think." I think education has turned into some Marxist social engineering experiment which does lead to hate and mental illness. But yeah, now days being highly educated just means indoctrinated.

[DustinTheHuss]

Maybe that's my problem.

Also if you are highly educated it most likely means you have a higher income and thus have the resources to mental health care.

But you have a superiority complex with high income and you tend to think you don't need mental healthcare.

No, it's not the education that traumatizes (although pervert professors are obviously traumatizing), it's that traumatized people assume they are in need of improvement, so they try to better themselves and get affirmation by getting educated. You are right about trauma being the source of mental "illness" so to speak. Trauma responses were once just normal since people lived short, war torn, wretched lives. Now we've got this kushy middle class that deals with traumatized people by either claiming they are full of lies (thus preserving their safe world fantasy) or by calling the trauma response something other than a rational response.

[MegaSloot]

saying no to mental health care has nothing to do with a superiority complex, dumbass. The #1 job of Medicaid shrinks is to discredit trauma survivors for the purpose of denying health care. Get your head out of your ass.

You clearly don't work with c-suite.

[TryingMen]

Pretty sure the correlation you speak of is simply a product of highly educated people tend to be higher socioeconomically and have the access and funds to seek treatment for mental illness

LOL at thinking education = mental illness. This entire forum is low IQ and you're all mentally ill. Explain that one.
