While I'm not a psychiatric professional, I do associate with several people in that field, and I'm calling shenanigans on your numbers. I'd say: "These days we have advanced medications, which can help with some of the symptoms of perhaps 25% of mental illnesses. Effectiveness will dramatically vary by person, and only works if the person continues to take the medication as directed (something that is very often outside the ability of a mentally ill person on their own). Also, many of these medications can cause health issues, addiction, toxicity, interactions with other medications and drugs, and need to be monitored on a frequent basis by a medical professional in order to fine tune the dosage, and look out for early warning signs of serious side effects." Which isn't nearly as helpful. Unfortunately.
