One of my readers and friends emailed me today with a wonderful question. She wanted to know about the average age that children tend to experience mental illness or mood disorders. Although there is no easy answer to this question, I was able to locate some very important statistics regarding children and mental illness. For these stats, please click here.
Among the most notable statistic is that one in five American children has a mental illness. That's 20% of our young population! This is why I'm hoping that this blog will become widely read. There's information here that is so needed for parents to help their children, and for children to read as well.
