For all I know, it could be to much meddling into
how the family unit is supposed to behave and function.
The family of today is no longer a connected unit
children are raised in daycares.
And children who are fortunate enough for one of
their parents to stay home is a rarity.

An estimated 1.2 million Canadian children and youth are affected by mental illness, but less than 20 per cent will receive appropriate treatment, according to the Mental Health Commission of Canada.

Schools are where children spend most of their time, which makes them an important place to reach out to them, Fazel said.

Behavioural disorders such as separation anxiety and oppositional defiant disorder are seen mainly in children aged four to 10 years, while anxiety and depression are more common in students aged 11 to 18, the researchers said.

The comments are worth a read

A recent study solidly linked child abuse to mental health issues. It showed that 30% of our nations children suffer from child abuse that causes mental health issues. People suffer well into their adult years. That is 10 Million people. It's an epidemic and we need to find a way to prevent and educate families so that we eliminate child abuse. It will solve so many of our nations problems. Prostitution, homelessness,violent crimes, spousal abuse, drug addictions the list goes on and on. Drugging our children and leaving them in an abusive home is not the answer. They need to grow up in safe nurturing homes to be healthy happy adults.
