The pervasiveness of mental health issues and child suicide rates leads Oregon to rank as the worst state in the country for the prevalence of mental illness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Severe depression and anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder are some of the increasingly prevalent and least-understood mental health disorders among K-12 students.

Who's really surprised that this heathen, liberal state's children are experiencing mental health issues?

Wasn’t it the Soviets who would consign political dissidents to mental hospitals, since anyone who disagreed with the Government HAD to be crazy?

Portland, Oregon is the most atheist city in the US.

Sure, as long as the Oregon legislature and Dept. of Education get evaluated first.

I'm sure they'll qualify homosexual tendencies, gender confusion, Trump Derangement Syndrome, and Rapid-Onset Jihadism as mental illnesses, so yeah, this is a great idea.

Meanwhile, I'm equally sure they'll classify gun ownership, rejection of climate change bunk, patriotism, and belief in God as protected rights and solid mental health, all the more to encourage them.

I'm also sure that a unicorn ate all the leaves off my money tree, and that I'm the Empress Anastasia.

I lived in Oregon for four years after getting out of the Air Force.

At the time, Oregon had very high rates of suicide due to severe depression which was credited to the dreary weather and constant dense fog in some areas.

I'm normally a positive, upbeat, happy person. But after four years of living in the Rogue River Valley in southern Oregon, where we could go weeks and weeks without the depressing fog lifting, I moved to Arizona.

The sun shines in Arizona most of the year and my own personal mood brightened almost immediately.

I suspect the cause of these high suicide and mental illness rates is due to the same thing. Cloudy, dreary, foggy weather which can drive one stir-crazy.

Of course. Then anyone who shows signs of a conservative outlook can be rendered loco and medicated, or institutionalized. Calling nurse Ratched.

Every Christian and Jewish student with good caring and conservative parents will be judged as mentally ill.

Then, these ‘new’ mentally ill students will be removed from their loving and caring parents to protect the students.

This will quickly turn into inquisitions. Very bad, but these states (Oregon, CA, MA etc.) are just way too far gone over the precipice for any reversion back to sanity. Their own people want this. Sheep. The more they are herded, the more they think the proactive solutions to their increasing problems lie in being better herded.

This is how an entire people become a collective zombie.

They have no idea they are not thinking for themselves.

Progressivism is a collective autoimmune disorder.

If your child doesn’t buy into the thorough liberal indoctrination compact, he will be termed mentally ill.

And one of the benefits of this exam is to get fresh recruits into the mk-ulta club?
