    When is the CDC going to make the connection between neurotoxins in mandatory vaccinations and ADHD?
    A fresh report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that 20 percent of American children now have mental health issues.

    Here are some of the report’s highlights:
    The most prevalent mental health diagnosis of children studied between the ages of three and 17 was Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), followed by depression, behavioral issues, and anxiety.

    Anxiety rates were considerably higher in this new study than data collected on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2001 to 2004.

    Suicide was the second leading cause of death among children aged 12–17 years in 2010. Of children who committed suicide, more than a quarter (26.4%) were receiving treatment for a mental health disorder.

    Children with health insurance had more ADHD and anxiety, whereas uninsured children were more likely to report substance use disorders.

    It is estimated nearly $247 billion is spent on childhood mental disorders each year.

    In fact, one study even found the fast growing segment of the population to be described antidepressant medication was preschoolers. All told, America takes 60 percent of the world’s psychotropic drugs.
