It approaches 90% in Washington DC.
Bogus study by the way.

Sounds like a survey meant to shape public opinion into giving more public money to shrinks.

They failed to mention the number one mental illness in Europe, that is liberalism, and I would venture that the percentage is closer to 99.9%. They all appear totally insane to me. Especially in GB where they let muslims run wild through out the population and go out of their way to kiss their a**es.

After I traveled to Europe last year, a European woman friend who had escaped from there 30 years ago told my ex: “He’s gone to Europe? They’re all crazy over there!”
She was right.

Sounds like they need to be marketing more pharmaceuticals for imaginary illnesses.

Considering The Hundred Years War, the Thirty Years War, the Inquisition, the Napoleonic Wars, WW I & II, I suspect there are times when Europe has had 80 to 90% mental illness, especially if you consider PTSD

It’s a Eurological disorder.
To: Free ThinkerNY
depression, anxiety, insomnia...
Sounds like the psychiatric industry is incrementally broadening their definition of "mental illness". Last I checked insomnia was a sleep disorder caused by a myriad of things from stress to diet, and both depression and anxiety, if not full blown clinical, are natural states that everyone experiences from time to time. Maybe they all just need ritalin.

LONDON (Reuters) - Europeans are plagued by mental and neurological illnesses, with almost 165 million people or 38 percent of the population suffering each year from a brain disorder such as depression, anxiety, insomnia or dementia, according to a large new study. Why do I have a feeling when they reference these first 3 cases that they are including the vast majority of normal human emotion. If I am going to be 5 minutes late for work...I experience a little anxiety. Does that make someone mentally ill? If I toss and turn one night...am I suddenly an insomniac.

IMHO, it's because they've exiled the Prince of Peace.
There is a great comfort and peace in a personal relationship with the creator. When you don't know who you are or where you've come from, how can you be mentally well?

Of course it is bogus. The bogus professions that rely on the DSM need to increase their incomes, so they manufacture mental “disorders”, include them in the DSM, and, presto, they have a code for billing health insurance providers.
