This is a very biased article.
Just because it's published at a medicl site, doesn't mean it's fair.
Even at worst --- some commission made the recommendation, Bush did not agree with this or propose it.
Hmmm,,wonder how many of us will be flagged,,for some reason this has me laughing hysterically. Actually there have been huge studies documenting the incidence and prevalence of mental illness already. Are these jokers suggesting we identify people individually and target the poor guys for treatment? If so, I think this is one of those ideas some eighth gradeer conceives for his health class essay to the amazement of his politically correct parents who think, "what a genius".
I included the adress to the report in my comment.

If you belive the article at BMJ is biased and unfair, you can still read the original report. I would like to hear why you think it's unfair.
