While there is some overlap, Bipolar disorder very much does not map 1:1 with people experiencing psychosis. So that isnt very helpful.
Yeah, there's no real data for "show signs of manic or psychotic crisis," as far as I can tell. I just went for the low-hanging fruit, since mania is often part of bipolar (manic-depressive). But if just bipolar is sitting at 2.8% of Americans in a given year, I think it's reasonable to say the loosely defined global stats in the article aren't notably high.
Ahh, right, that is what I was getting at. I suspect that the percentage of people who have at some point experienced psychotic symptoms is probably higher than most people realize.
