2.5 million Lagosians have mental disoder?

According to the Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris, 2.5 million Lagosians have mental disorder.

He said this at a news conference to kick start the World Mental Health Day on Tuesday Oct 11. According to him, recent studies conducted by the ministry in Lagos shows that an average of 14.1% of the total population of the state suffer from one form of mental illness or another.

He explained that the illnesses might not necessarily be psychosis but untreated minor mental sickness, which affect the quality of life.

So what he is basically saying is that for every 5 Lagosian, one person is mentally unbalanced? If you live in Lagos, do you agree?
