Mental disorders are common in the United States and internationally. About one in four adults or 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older have a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. According to the Los Angeles Times, one in five adults in the U.S. had a mental illness in 2010, with people ages 18 to 25 having the highest rates, according to a national survey.
Now Medicare is going to cover more of the costs for Senior Mental Health. Seniors experience depression over illness and death and I would think that is a normal occurrence and certainly not rare. Nothing was said about the most prevalent ages of 18 to 25 who need the most help and the most likely group to commit crimes.
