Bush plans to screen whole US population for mental illness...the scheme described in this article credits the mental health establishment with way too much knowledge, technical know-how, and ability to coordinate what services they can provide - it'll never happen......

they seem to be planning on using the schools for the initial screening. they can simply give the kids a brief questionnaire, and when kids score above a cut-off point, refer them to the school psychologist for further evaluation.
it wouldn't be hard to screen the entire school-aged population. they could also require all doctors to do the screenings. then they could spread out from there.
and most people in our country go thru the schools at some point in their lives.
