Overview: In the National Action Agenda for Children's Mental Health, the U.S. Surgeon General warns that the nation is facing a public crisis in caring for children and adolescents with behavioral, psychological, and emotional problems. The report, released in January 2001, notes that 1 in 10 young people suffer from mental illness severe enough to cause some level of impairment.
