I like Dylan and Lennon and think changing society can help those deemed mentally ill to feel mentally free and not just the mentally "ill" but everyone.
I think the term used in the US is "communist" (with the exception of some parts of course). In much of the rest of the world it would be moderately left-leaning. In some other parts definitely leftist. Nowadays that is pretty conservative, but I hope with some creative de(con)struction. I prefer the term politically active (as opposed to laissez-fair or some conservative, we're not gonna change anything: passive).
I am a theorist: I like to synthesise opposing views. Many of the left, many of the right. But I think that is in itself left-wing behaviour (or just marxist, whatever).
I like to think many with psychotic disorders are theorists by nature. Whether they call that left-wing is less relevant.
Third way liberals (like the Democrats in the US) are in many ways worse than "true" right-wing parties. In the US, I might vote Republican. I might even vote for Trump, hoping to blow up the current system once and for all.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me.
