(Reuters) - One in five adults in the United States, or nearly 50 million people, suffered mental illnesses in 2010, with women and young adults suffering disproportionately, a government report released on Thursday found. The survey by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration found women were more likely than men (23 percent versus 16.8 percent) to have experienced a mental illness, while the rate of mental illness among people aged 18 to 25 was twice that of those aged 50 and older. The administration defined mental illness among adults as diagnosable mental, behavioral or emotional disorders, excluding developmental disorders and substance use. The survey found that 5 percent of American adults, or 11.4 million people, surveyed in 2010 had suffered a serious mental illness in the past year that substantially interfered with their lives. Poster Comment: There's no business like "Mad Business" - after all the Big Pharma Companies are big advertisers and that is a lot of money. And money is more important than the truth isn't it?

Predictable results from Big Pharma's push for life long customers. If I were a nut, I'd be a hazelnut. : ) the rate of mental illness among people aged 18 to 25 was twice that of those aged 50 and older.
