No idea who this guy is quoting, but sadly, yeah. Between 60 - 80% of people that have started a business have very poor mental health / are mentally ill. Business owners are n-times(2x -> 10x depending on mental health condition) more likely to suffer from ADHD, depression, substance abuse or suicidal thoughts. I wouldn't discount things like obsessions either.

Yeah it's true. Non-startup business owner here. Broken from childhood although cishet white male from a first world country. Adhd high probability. Some OCD too. Employees are content with my OCD due to software development context. X) you gotta make that chip on your shoulder work for you instead of terrorizing the world with your problematic energy.
