[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 233590, member: 6271"] this is a very good question. For one thing diagnosis is only going to happen where there are clinicians who are both qualified and where children have access. The impact of environment is playing a role. Toxic materials DO have effects. As do nutrition. In my lifetime population has doubled once already. It will happen again sooner this time and it will be LARGER. Is there more now? Common sense says yes. More people, more of the same. In my lifetime the availability of diagnosis and treatments has increased as today there are more practioners who see more of the population than did even 80 years ago. The lifestyle changes in my lifetime play a role as well as on a farm, for example, the activities and opertunities to have someone name that disorder were less. In public schools now a child IS under the observation of educators and clinical phsycologists and as needed in their opions recieving the oppertunities to be evaluated by child and adolescent psyciatrists. What is very true is that these sciences ARE NEW and the fact that children both with diagnosable conditions have not been and are often not now being evaluated as well children in families where there are mentally aflicted parents are not recieving the attention and care that hopefully is in store for the future as the normally occuring as well as industrially concieved mental illnesses are not swept under the rug and ignored. The fact that poor quality food both due to limited supply due to famines as well as the profit motivated devotion to the inflated pricing of food that are cheap to grow and lack the variety humans need for health are influencing the physical and mental health of EVERYBODY. And the impact of pollutions wether the poisons added to increase yeilds by killing bugs and other living things, or the substances that are being added to the air,land,water that over time will continue to bare sway on health. The most optimistic thoughts I have found yet are the idea that we are going from the age of information into the age of biology. As humans in general are more likely to learn about what is known and knowable in a context that includes the whole globe and the finite atmosphere of earth we can share in common the awareness of life on earth and the care of this place and one another. As my family has had mental illness on both sides that we know of and in my family right now I think everyone is getting treatment. Even if all the things that we are doing now are entirely wrong the fact is from the lessons of clinical practises will ultimately inch the science and the success for future one step further. What I would like to see is a full scale push to gather the best facts possible on the largest number of the population alive and stop using product check to test as a meathod of treatment. I am most excited about the role of the brain scanning and the diagnositic test which offer the first time a chance to look and see what is happening both through visual and chemical tests. Also the improving of the behavioral evaluation teats are so extremely insightfull. In this way there are much to be enthusiastic about. That said, I also hope that the increased educational attainment of the greater population will also be embrasing a more thoughtful and compassionate aproach to the fertility of women and stop this shame based nonscence that pushes the young into reproductivity befor she has the where with all to decide from the veiw point of an adult wether and when and with whom she wishes to become a mother. As the lifestyle choices of the extremes in poverty that are coming now it is cruel and sadistic to press women into the sorts of emotional/intellectual abuse that is part and parcel of the new religions that put females into a rape cage to begin with. Fertility is a sign of health in females and it is short sighted nonscence to require the massive populations alive now to reproduce just because biological ability as it is the means by which more senceless and avoidable poverty and crushing servile abuse is perpetuated. That is what I have to say about that. [/QUOTE]
