Those percentages seem way too low and incorrect. Would be nice if they were, but I don't think so. Who did the count? Thing is it's pretty impossible for it to be accurate since a large amount of mental illnesses and other disorders are not diagnosed. Many people either don't admit to a problem or won't get help. Or are incorrectly diagnosed.

Any of the typical mental ones such as depression, bipolar, etc. I've done tons of research on this, not to mention all the people I've spoken to. I think a lot more people suffer or have suffered previously from these illnesses. Believe me, I'd much rather be wrong about this in particular.
