What percent of the human population needs to be in an asylum?

A lot of people would benefit from actual mental health care, yeah.

You mean folk who's conditions even medication can't help? Maybe 10%-15% of the global mentally ill.

Given an estimated 13% of the world's population(1) has a mental illness, and that the current population is 7.9 billion(2) That would give a total mental illness pop of 1.027 billion!

So 10% of that maybe would be 100 mil or 1/3 the population of the US roughly.

I don’t know what you mean. Are you saying he’s in an “asylum”? Asylums are defunct @TryingtoLava

The entire planet is an asylum, if you haven't noticed 🥴
Cannot be ascertained by Fixnum.
