Mental Health Issues

This interesting article from MedicineNet talks about the mental health differences between Asians and Americans. It revealed that Asians enjoy better mental health as compared to their American counterparts.

"Roughly 48 percent of Americans will have some kind of lifetime disorder. In our study, less than one in four Asian-American immigrants will have a disorder. However, that won't necessarily be the case for their children and grandchildren. If trends continue, rates for them will go up, and that suggests that more investment is needed for prevention programs,"

This is statement from study lead author David Takeuchi, a sociologist and social work professor at the University of Washington.
