APA Applauds Final Report of President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health

APA Applauds Final Report of President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health OK, we'll see. Let's hope it's not lipservice on paper.

nota bene in the release:

  • About 30 percent of our nation's adults suffer from a diagnosable mental or addictive disorder, and 20 percent of our nation’s children display the signs or symptoms of a diagnosable mental disorder within the course of a year.
  • The recommendations offered by the Commission today will enable people with mental disorders to receive more timely and more appropriate care coordinated within a workable mental health service delivery system
  • Supports the call by President Bush for federal legislation to provide full parity between insurance coverage for mental health and physical health care.


    In the meantime, I'm bedding down to watch QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY on Bravo! It's a great show and done well with tongue-in-cheek (so-to-speak).
