I think it is more like 3 in 10. Or more. Pick any random group of customers or workers in a big box store, or anywhere in public with lots of mixed people, and I would bet 50% of them take some sort of psychiatric medication. It is sad that our treatment experts put all of their focus on symptom control rather than cure. With a cure approach....not nearly the impossible thing experts think it is....common people like me do it....millions of us actually....with a cure approach medications are no longer needed at all.
We as a nation are not there. But the "there" is already here.
I think one in ten is greatly understated. Could be wrong. imo
