|In the process of trying to create peace and stability for herself and other nations, the United States has become a common target of hatred of various movements and governments aroung the world.  Newspapers today are filled with articles on the United States and her involvement in foreign wars, and coverage of the negative local response to such involvement.  With many countries possessing or developing nuclear technology and advanced delivery systems, it's not hard to imagine the devestation and destruction that might occur if irresponsible agression materialized.

The National Institute of Mental Health states that:
:''Mental disorders are common in the United States and internationally. An estimated 26.2% of Americans ages 18 and older — about 1 in 4 adults — suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. When applied to the 2004 U.S. Census residential population estimate for ages 18 and older, this figure translates to 57.7 million people. Even though mental disorders are widespread in the population, the main burden of illness is concentrated in a much smaller proportion — about 6 percent, or 1 in 17 — who suffer from a serious mental illness.'' <ref name="National Institute of Mental Health"> [http://www.nimh.nih.gov/publicat/numbers.cfm National Institute of Mental Health]</ref>
