Originally aired Wednesday, May 13, 2009

Statistics from the Department of Health and Human Services reveal that at any time, one out of five young people in the U.S. is struggling with a mental health problem. Issues could run from anxiety problems, to anorexia nervosa, to bipolar or conduct disorders. Those who try to help lower those statistics have discovered some disturbing trends, including the fact that even babies can develop problems that will last through their lives if steps aren’t taken to help them.

South Dakota Public Broadcasting’s Gary Ellenbolt reports on those findings on Dakota Digest. Click here
