    Give the psychiatrists enough time to define what mental illness is and what they can charge for and it will be up to 75%.

    Since depression is considered a mental illness and almost everyone seems depressed right now, I find this statistic difficult to swallow.

    Yes, it's called "Sheeps Syndrome" meaning they vote for idiots to put in office against their better judgement and sit idly by as their country goes in the ******* :)

    I think they underestimate this number by a large margin.

    45 years ago 1 in 1000 children were born with some form of Autism,, today it's 1 in 100...there are many reasons why this is happening...the most prevalent is all the vaccinations we baby boomers were given in the 60's and 70's...another is simply genetic...any way you cut it Autism will be the next big disease to sweep this world with no cure, next to Aids....

    It's lower than I thought it would be. Considering how complex the human psyche is and how sensitive, I'd have expected a higher number than 1/5.
