Thais are too greedy to give a crap about the mentally ill. No one with any money will part with 1 baht to help a lowly mental case. Thai culture.

only 1% ,the whole nation is not playing with a full deck .
a screw loose seems very common .look at the news over the years:smileylaughing:

When I look at the figures, and then look at the driving mentality, things add up spookily.

I suspect that the Village Idiot Syndrome could be applied to the "official" number?

4 million.

i think the only reason for this article was, to bring that ridiculous number of 1 percent into the public domain...

what would that mean to worry, if there were a 70 percent with diabetes or serious other malnutrition issues...?

im also wondering, how close mental illness goes with low EQ...
when you look at the psychiatric tests, then (imo) a person with low EQ will do "automatically" very bad...

i think there must be a strong link between "mental illness" and "low EQ"...
