A recent report from the Commission on Children at Risk warned that rising rates of mental and emotional problems among U.S. children and teenagers signal a crisis for the country. Depression, anxiety, attention deficit, conduct disorders, suicidal thinking, and other serious psychological problems are striking more and more children and youths. Conservative estimates say one in every ten children and adolescents now suffer from mental illness severe enough to cause impairment. Fewer than one in five ever gets treatment. In these volumes, dozens of experts including a Nobel Prize Winner and researchers from Harvard, Princeton, and Yale describe in clear language what the maladies are, how they develop, what fuels them and what can be done to stem the tide or eradicate these disorders. Included are chapters on attachment disorders, aggression and antisocial behaviours, learning disabilities, suicidal behaviour, and autistic spectrum disorders, among others. The mental health crisis is examined for particular groups, including abused children, immigrant, foster, African American, Latino, and Native American children, those living in poverty, and gay and lesbian teenagers. The roles of parents, family, peers, childcare leaders, school personnel and programmes, and paediatricians, are also discussed.
