JAMA On Maine ADHD - Nothing On Trafficking Tiny Humans

One thing I have always despised are these dumb academic research clearing houses.

This is the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA).

Yes, American corporate based research that bills Medicaid to crank out new terms, theories and whatever duct taped generalizability model they are pumping to make sure the next Social Impact Bond hustle gets enough gold stars to get that precious U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, Children's Bureau.

I have this crazy, off the wall idea on how to cure children of mental health disorders.

STOP STEALIN'

Yes, you shall find if you stop making people poor, people would not have these mental health disorders.

Now, notice how you will never see a narrative approaching this concept of stealin'.

They have been stealin' the children, the land and the votes for a very long time because these privateers take a village, then pilfers its national treasury in Medicaid cost reimbursements in all their new, Public Private Partnership pilot model programs, loaded up with a new batch of second generation antipsychotropics to be tested out on the foster care lab rats, or ask I prefer to just call the Trafficking of Tiny Humans.

You have to love the irony.

Report: Maine has the highest percentage of children with mental health disorders


PORTLAND (WGME) -- A new study is putting Maine at the top of the list when it comes to the number of children with mental health disorders.

This revealing report was just published in a leading medical journal.

That study in JAMA Pediatrics finds about 1 in 4 children in Maine has at least one mental health disorder, like depression, anxiety, or ADHD.

That's higher than the national prevalence of about 1 in 6. In fact, the study found the highest percentage of mental health problems among kids is in Maine.

 And the study has more alarming findings, nearly half of children and teens with mental health disorders are not receiving care. In all, about 7.7 million children have at least one mental health disorder.

Researchers say concerned parents should ask their child's pediatrician about available resources.

Researchers say among the challenges of treatment, families are concerned about the stigma of mental health and being able to afford treatment.

Experts say there's a severe shortage of mental health providers who treat children and adolescents.


In children, mental health disorders have deleterious consequences on individual and socioeconomic factors1 and can impede healthful transitioning into adulthood,2 and the incidence of mental health disorders has been increasing over the decades.3 Recent initiatives led by global and national agencies were created to identify priority focus areas regarding the mental health–related burden. Some of the emerging priorities included developing child mental health policies, implementing prevention and early intervention strategies for transition-age youth, and reducing disparities for mental health care use.4This study sought to inform these initiatives by providing recent national and state-level estimates of the prevalence of treatable mental health disorders and mental health care use in children.
