Has Your Child Been Diagnosed
With Mental Illness?

ABCNEWS.com Wants to Hear From You

July 21— Psychiatrists say that as many as one in 10 American children has a serious emotional disorder, and younger and younger children are being diagnosed with mental illnesses.

Have you been told that your child has an emotional problem or mental illness? If so, did you seek a doctor's advice yourself because of something you observed in your child's behavior, or did day care or school personnel recommend that you seek help for your child?

What do you think about the diagnosis and the treatment or therapy that was prescribed?
