Speaker/Host to Speaker: Dan Ryan introduced Dr. Joel Young, who has met with the Mental Health Committee at the request of Dan, and has provided valuable guidance in planning a program. Dr. Young indicates that the western world has seen an increase in mental health issues. For example, statistics show that 3.2 million of adolescents age 12-17 have had a depressive episode. Depression causes irritability, hostility and aggression. While mental health disorders are manageable illnesses, and there has been great progress in treating these diseases, 60% of those affected never see any form of treatment. If we can intervene and diagnose mental disorders early, the chances of a favorable result increase. One way to intervene is with use of a rating scale, which is an inexpensive questionnaire which can be answered and later rated. If a problem is identified, and appropriate referral can be made.
 
Song SMILE, led by President John
