I would suggest there is a subtle phenomenon at play. Roughly speaking, a portion of the population is "wired" quite differently than the rest, and they function in the world very differently than anyone realizes. Put bluntly, they are more robotic and absorb directives from those they consider "authorities".
"They" are well aware of this and implement their programs based on it. They carefully disguised it by giving these people relatively reasonable "orders". Over time, as "They" have started to lose control, they needed to issue increasingly less reasonable orders, and this is manifested as "mental illness".
So suppose you come across Lt. Cmdr. Data beating some human to death. Is the relevant question, "Why is he so mad?" Not at all. Data is as he always ways, a robot. You would ask, "Who programmed this behavior into him?"
Expert analogy there.
This is yet another solid assessment on your part.
Thank you very much!

Are Libertarians to the left of conservatives and authoritarians right of liberals?
Authoritarians are obviously left, like liberals.
As are libertarians.
Authoritarianism has nothing to do with freedom and the right of the individual.
On your chart layout, leftmost == most sane, rightmost == most crazy. Thus, I'll repeat my question.
Are libertariams more sane than conservatives and are authoritarians more insane than liberals?
Well, I was clearly not considering the directionality of the chart as relevant with respect to either group, Mostly because the organization of the groupings on the chart is irrelevant.
I would expect you would find more people with mental issues in either of the two groups you query.
Not sure which would have more, The authoritarian comes to mind, but the general detachment of the libertarian view from reality suggests they may take the lead.
I suppose a libertarian would be more likely to reject society's notion of mental illness as more of a mechanism for control, pharma sales, pharma experimentation, etc, so this actually may be a philosophical issue with the result rather than an empirical issue. My 2 cents, anyway.
