Maybe, but over my 30 years every piece of anecdotal evidence I’ve seen *and* the movie Idiocracy says the exact opposite.

Sure, which is why you want actual real research.

Still something like 16-25% of the overall population has some form of diagnosable mental illness, couples have 2 people, and divorced are more likely to have various conditions. So the effect size would need to be huge for this not to be relevant.

More like the exact opposite, at least recently.
