This is a frightening statistic, probably one of the most worrisome in recent years.

25% of the women in this country are on medication for mental illness.

That's scary.

It means 75% are running around untreated!!
 
HAHA! Seriously though, it is pretty scary. Imagine how many people in general are on those. Now that's scary.
 
My ex-wife decided to just not take hers.

Through my experience with her I learned to base my judgement on future relationships with women off of how they got along with their parents. If she screams and yells at mom, it is just a matter of time until it is directed at you.

+100
 
Scarier statistic for the single guys:

Annual sales of Valacyclovir Hydrochloride (Valtrex) are typically are around $2.2 Billion. Before it went off patent in 2009 GSK manufactured a metric shitton of this annually. There must be a lot of people suffering from cold sores out there! :rolleyes:
 
I studied this stuff in school. Of course t hat was 40 years ago, but math is math. Clemens was right. " there's lies, damn lies , and then there's statistics" DO NOT believe that shit.Then again , I'm sure my wife of 41 years is more than a little bit out of plumb.
 
Birth Control pills make women totally crazy all the time instead of just once in awhile, since now they are stuffed with high levels of the crazy hormone all the time.
Explains why everyone seems nuts.
 
+1 on the birth control. The shit my wife was taking about caused a divorce!

Reminds me of a joke:
An engineer, a doctor and a statistician are interviewing for a job. The engineer goes first. The manager asks him one question, what is 2+2? The engineer replies, that is basic arithmetic, the answer is 4. The doctor is next and is asked the same question. The doctor replies, that's easy, 4. Finally, the statistician. He is asked what is 2+2. The statistician looks around, then proceeds to close all the blinds in the office. He then replies what do you want the answer to be? The statistician got the job.
 
67.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
 
All women are crazy, all men are jerks. The trick is finding the crazy you can handle that can also put up with your flavor of jerkiness.

The scary stat to me is that half the people driving cars are dumber than average.

That said, real mental illness is no laughing matter. My childhood friend committed suicide in his mid-40s a few years ago, 6 months after he finally got married. He lived his whole adult life dealing with mental illness. I have had others with mental illness that I know as well. Some is chemical, but some is self-created and for others, they just got a bad set of circumstances that put them down a rabbit hole. As we (American Society) teach our children that there are no absolutes, you create your own truth and that they are victims, it will become worse.
 
I can weed 'em out faster than Matt Dillon can draw his sixgun. If their mother screams and yells, so will she. Thought I was going to have to pepper spray an ex-squeeze in the frozen food section of Walmart one night. She never said "boo" to her kids, but I was fair game for all her pent up anxiety. It just ain't happening.
