What was said

"Progressive women under 30 have a 56% chance of having been formally diagnosed with at least one mental illness. Why? Well, because of this, because this is how it's manifest, you know, it in when depression is largely u is largely shown among women with sadness and men with anger."

Arthur Brooks cites research showing that progressive women under 30 face a 56% rate of diagnosed mental illness, attributing this to technology's impact on brain function and victim identity politics. He contrasts how depression manifests differently by gender, with women showing sadness and men displaying anger, explaining why mental health crises appear different across demographics.
