Suicide, Depression, Bipolar Disease, and ADHD rates have been on a constant rise.
"In the UK, Government statistics indicate 1 in 8 adolescents have depression."
"In the US, the number of children diagnosed as being bipolar increased from 20,000 to and astonishing 800,000 in 10 years."
"number of adolescents under the age of 19 who committed suicide increased by 14% in just one year"
"bewteen 2001 and 2006, the number of prescriptions for ADHD rose 74% for girls, 34% for boys....Study in the Journal of Neuroscience showed that Ritalin casued addiction, stress and social problems in developing minds"
It's not so much a pet peeve, or something that grids my gears, but rather a great concern. One of the reasons this particualr subject struck home for me is that i am in this age group, this is happening right now, to my friends, and my famil. Something is happening to today's youth, something is wrong.
