Nearly 1 in 5 Americans had mental illness in 2009 because of green energy tech: "

You may have heard the news this last week that 1 in 5 Americans are mentally ill. I thought the Democrat base was bigger than this but anyway. From CNBC via Sharp Elbows:

More than 45 million Americans, or 20 percent of U.S. adults, had some form of mental illness last year, and 11 million had a serious illness, U.S. government researchers reported on Thursday.

Young adults aged 18 to 25 had the highest level of mental illness at 30 percent, while those aged 50 and older had the lowest, with 13.7 percent, said the report by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration or SAMHSA.

There's one thing that all the pundits seem to have missed, and that is the fact that this was predicted. From a prior post of mine back in April: Govt report: global warming will cause mental illness, and more cancer because of pollution from green technology! The study that was released cooperatively between the NIH, NOAA, CDC, DoAG, the EPA and the DHS. For one, the report points to the increase in mental illness due to global warming. The problem? The mental illness isn't due to warmer temperatures but rather from people worrying about a global apocalypse. That's not a function of an actual calamity but rather the fear of one. That's the fault of the liberal environmental movement and its sycophantic suck-ups in the MSM, not due to anything happening environmentally. The report had a cancer segment to it as well because of all the chemical necessary to make green tech actually function.

All kidding aside though, I think the reason the mental illness number is so high is that people are confusing unhappiness with a mental disorder. It's not. You're unhappy. A pill won't change that. Note that younger people have been most affected by being unhappy. Part of the above problem is that the perception of an environmental disaster is being pushed on the public through the government in general, and government-run public schools in particular, something I have written about several times before:

• Indoctrination In Action: One in Three Children Fear Earth Apocalypse
• How to make young drivers better in MI? Why push global warming junk science in drivers ed of course!
• 6 TIMES More Youth Depressed Now than During Great Depression
• Indoctrination: Students Being Scared With Mandatory Environmental Video

Is it any wonder that kids have environmental nightmares these days? This isn't actually due to anything environmental. It's due to some people injecting unfounded fears into others.
