Some facts:
-25% percent of people in developed and developing countries will experience at least one pyschological disorder in their lives.
-By 2020, depression will become the second leading global cause of death and diasability, after heart disease.
-People from traditional cultures increase their risk of pyschological problems, including schizophrenia, by up to six times when immigrating to developed countries.

Interesting if you ask me, we are in the developed world how come we are so depressed and can't function, whats so depressing? but if you ask me for my opinion on why depression and ADD are in children/teen socities its caused by lack of co-ordination of going outside and staying inside playing games and watching T.V...go outside and get some fresh air.
