| 2025-07-20 | |
| [GEO.TV] One of Pakistain's top neurologists, Dr Muhammad Wasay, said on Thursday that 15% of Pakistain's youth are suffering from mental health disorders. They probably define "mental health disorders" differently from the rest of the world...
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... Press Club, in which renowned neurologists and health experts emphasised that mental health is not merely the absence of disease, but the foundation of a positive, dignified, and well-balanced life. This year's theme for World Brain Day is "Brain Health and Wellbeing: A Priority for All". According to global statistics, 43% of the world's population suffers from some form of neurological or mental disorder. Other experts said that stroke cases have doubled compared to the past ten years. | |

| #13 They all grow up in an insane asylum; it's a miracle 100% Pakistanis don't have PTSD, quite aside from family trees that don't fork. |

| #12 But you knew all that and were wondering at a higher level. Sorry, the family teaching gene pops up at unexpected moments, even if I never took it on professionally. |

| #11 I can see even Higher Percentages than admitted to. The good doctor is just talking about noticeable mental disorders, NN2N1. Probably the same percent have visible physical disorders, where the groups overlap by some amount, meaning less than 30% of the population have a noticeable disabling genetic mutation. The same again are total probably carriers, and a somewhat larger number probably have deleterious genetic mutations mild enough that the symptoms are not noticeable, if this follows a normal Bell curve. |

| #4 Looking at being #1 in the world for Consanguineous Marriages is 1 explanation. But then add in cultural, environmental, Religious teachings, and general conflicts with the incoming Smartphone generation. I can see even Higher Percentages than admitted to. |

| #2 Lots of genetic mutations manifest as mental or physical disorders, Skidmark. Are we talking at cross purposes? |

| #1 I don't think 'genetic' is a disorder. |
