Republicans have better mental health?!
I'm not sure of the significance of this report- interpret it how you wish!
-
"Republicans are significantly more likely than Democrats or independents to rate their mental health as excellent, according to data from the last four November Gallup Health and Healthcare polls. Fifty-eight percent of Republicans report having excellent mental health, compared to 43% of independents and 38% of Democrats. This relationship between party identification and reports of excellent mental health persists even within categories of income, age, gender, church attendance, and education.
The basic data -- based on an aggregated sample of more than 4,000 interviews conducted since 2004 -- are straightforward."

I don't know if you looked at the "rate their own mental health as excellent" part. So no Mental Health Professionals, no testing, just how sane they think they are.
You could make the argument that Republicans are more arrogant and/or Democrats are more insecure.
