Chris Bowers of MyDD directs us via Washington Monthly to a JAMA report on incidence of mental illness in the world....and it turns out that the U.S. has a higher percentage of its population with some kind of mental disorder than any other country in the world. 18.2% have some kind of anxiety disorder, 9.6% are suffering from mood disorders, 6.8% have some kind of impulse control problem, 3.8% have substance abuse problems.

Hey, America! Maybe electing a president who isn't a nutball himself might help ease some of the pain.
