UCLA has proven what the rest of the world already knows, Californians are crazy.
"In a comprehensive new study on mental health status and the use of mental health services by Californians, researchers at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research found that nearly one in five adults in the state about 4.9 million people said they needed help for a mental or emotional health problem.
In addition, approximately one in 25, or more than 1 million, reported symptoms associated with serious psychological distress (SPD), which includes the most serious kinds of diagnosable mental health disorders."
Here is a question--does being poor make you have mental problems or does having mental problems make you poor?
"Income a significant factor
The poorest adults those living below 100 percent of the federal poverty level were much more likely to report symptoms associated with SPD than those with incomes that were even just slightly higher. The poorest were more than five times as likely to report SPD as those living at or above 300 percent of the federal poverty level."
Maybe if the laws of the State were not crazy, taxes not as high, politicians working for us instead of the special interests that would solve my emotional problems. What would solve yours?
