Did you know that somewhere around half the population has...?
Question:
About 25% of people will experience some form of major depression.
Panic/anxiety disorders are common as well.
Personality disorders add up - who doesn't know a narcisist, borderline, histrionic, avoidant personality, anti-social, etc?
Bipolar and the schizos are another 4%.
Then there are the officially neuro problems like Asbergers, Autism, etc.

Your thoughts?
Answers:
I think that everyone is afflicted. That is my opinion. Some just seem to be affected in greater extremes.
Actually, the statistically average man doesn't probably exist and so all of us are eccentric when measured with some parameter and compared to others. Good for us.
don't we all have some mental issue or issues? It doesn't have to be that but Some people could be depressed and not even know they are.
I Can believe that!
We all have some kind of mental disorder, even the SANE ones. The fact of the matter is we believe that the world is a perfect place and its easy to address any kind of mental disorder with THAT PERSON IS CRAZY. But the truth is 80 to 90 percent of the population has no understanding and skill to deal with mental disorders. Its never going to change. Most people believe that the way I think is the way I am. We dont realize that the brain is muscle and it could be understood and controled.
Not surprised.
