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?
