Summary

This quote humorously highlights the prevalence of mental illness in society. It suggests that since one in four Americans is believed to be suffering from a mental illness, if none of your three closest friends are exhibiting any signs of mental distress, it's likely that the individual quoting this is the one who may be struggling with a mental health issue. With a touch of sarcasm, it encourages self-reflection and emphasizes the importance of recognizing and seeking help for mental health concerns.
