Question 2

The Senate is holding hearings on the prevalence and treatment of disorders in children and adolescents. A large group of mental health professionals has been called to testify.
 
  What are they likely to tell the committee concerning child and adolescent disorders?
   a) Epidemiological research indicates that most of these disorders are
   self-limiting; they do not continue into adulthood.
   b) Most of the mental health disorders that occur in childhood are the
   result of genetic factors, which suggests we need programs on early intervention.
   c) We need to pay special attention to these disorders because they
   are generally untreated, and when treated they are often treated by
   people with little knowledge of children's mental health.
   d) As a result of yearly check-ups and school-related physicals, most
   children with disorders are currently receiving the mental health services
   they need, although their parents are less likely to receive services.
