They say 1 in 4 women are on some kind of anti depressant. Then you have others who are on different drugs such as pain killers and benzos. Throw the men in there who don't pop as many pills but likely drink more and do the math... Then 20% doesn't sound too bad to be honest.
You want even more mental illness... Head to the burbs. When almost everyone is in a different altered state, including the kids, it turns into one giant cuckoos nest.

"Almost everyone is in a different altered state" in the suburbs? What movie did you watch to think this?
I was born in New York City ... although a lot of people think I'm a native Philadelphian ... I was actually born in Flushing, Queens.
I'm surprised it's only 20%. I thought it would be more like 80%. I mean most of those Noo Yawkers are crazy!
I moved to NYC right after university, and lived in Manhattan for more than forty years. It was like Alice in Wonderland. It was great fun until it became the gentrified, plasticized burg it is now, and that's when it started to seem really weird to me. Once Disney moved that duck and a mouse into West 42nd St. it was downhill from there.
I, too, would be mentally ill if I lived in a city that smelled like pee every time the temperature rose above freezing.
