WHY the Alarming Increase in Mental Illness? - Richard H Sedliacik - January 1965

Richard H Sedliacik

One half of hospital beds are occupied by mental patients! Why? What's causing all this fear, frustration, mental breakdown? It's time we learn HOW to have a healthy, happy mind! More people are in U.S. hospitals suffering from mental illness than from polio, cancer, heart disease and all other diseases combined! But even more alarming are the estimates that one out of every TEN Americans is destined to become a mental patient during his lifetime! The true picture of mental health in the United States, and the world, is absolutely appalling! But why? Why, in this age of scientific "enlightenment" and technological and medical "advancements," should the incidence of mental illness be skyrocketing? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
