Statistics: Mental Disoders

http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/statistics/index.shtml

I found this article about Mental Disorders very interesting because an estimate of 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older suffer from a mental disorder. This disease is very well underestimated in the United States and through out the world. What really touched me about this subject is the fact that mental illness including suicide is accounted for more then 15% of the burden disease. Which is more then the disease caused by cancer. I really hope that there is something we can do about the high percent of mental disorders and find out what the cause of this illness is so the percent will lower.
