The Surgeon General released a report concluding that "one in every five Americans experiences a mental disorder in any given year, and half of all Americans have such disorders at some time in their lives." Mental disorders are defined as "alterations in thinking, mood, or behavior that cause distress or impair a person's ability to function," including "depression, attention-deficit or hyperactivity disorder, and phobias."

[Ed.: The purpose of the report, in case you didn't catch it, was to increase anxiety levels.]
