I know that some of you will want to dismiss these findings as inconsequential and without merit. Rather than discussing and exploring them. What are you afraid of?

You need to watch more TV.

Utah mormons are fine. It's all the non-mormons living there that feel guilty for their wicked lifestyles that drive those stats.

I'm inclined to think that Mormons' unwillingness to self-medicate has something to do with it, but I also think it's obvious that many Mormons are unhappy due to feelings of inadequacy and impossible expectations.

Utah has a fairly high suicide rate as well, as does the entire western United States.

Is it that Mormons have a heightened sense of their mental health, focusing so much on our spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being? Others just tend to live more without stressin' so much about how they're doing.
