About 17M adult Americans have had one or more major depressive episodes. 35% of them received no treatment at all. That's just the numbers for depression, let alone other disorders.
The pills can treat symptoms but they don't resolve the root causes of the disorders. I think there are a lot of people out there who would benefit from more or better treatment but the latent demand greatly outweighs the supply.
