This article from Yale’s website makes up numbers with zero citation.
The article asserts that 8 percent of people suffer from auditory hallucinations on a regular basis. The closest article I could find that has some number similar to this is from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4744794/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4744794/ which is an article about Norway and its population.
The article then asserts that 1 percent of the population suffer from Schizophrenia without citation. I found that the NIH asserts with citation that the actual number for Americans is roughly .25 to .64 of one percent. https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/schizophrenia.shtml https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/schizophrenia.sht...

- showdeadplease 7y agoIndeed. HN takes humor very seriously.
- sekh60 7y agoHuh, I never saw that NIH number and I've come across a fair number of stories and articles for laypeople. I'm not doubting it, just kinda surprised since tons of people take the 1% number and parrot it. I always felt 1% was rather high.
