Mental health illness
These are health problems involving changes in thinking, emotion as well behavior. Normally mental illness is associated with distress or in other cases, problems functioning in social works (De Silva et., al 2005). According to World Health Organization;
· Approximately one in five adults in the united states experience some mental disorder,
· Further, one in 24 has a critical mental disorder
· And on in 12 has a substance use disorder. www.who.int/mental_health/management/en/
Nevertheless, mental disorder is treatable and majority of people with mental disorders continue to function in their daily lives.
In order to understand health issues related to mental illness, below is the information I will collect in order to form a recommendation for a policy solution to the problem.

education in the developing countries

Please respond to the following:
Based on the lecture and Webtext materials, and research done using an outside source, address the following:
In this discussion you are going to consider the most significant obstacles to obtaining an education in a developing country of your choice.
Using the textbook, an outside resource of your choosing where you examine a specific developing country, please examine the causes of the problem in your chosen country, outline them for us, and make two suggestions for change that are feasible. Be sure to defend the feasibility. 
Also – do not suggest building more schools. This may not be one of the solutions.
Please note that in order to complete this discussion one needs to consider that developing countries have unique problems and therefore we need to address these unique problems in making suggestions. For example, some countries such as Chad or Cape Verde lack teachers, others such a Sudan and Afghanistan are war torn and lack facilities, and still others such lack transportation for children and the funds to pay for books. Your suggestions need to reflect the problems in the country you choose to discuss.
Will you choose a developing country?
Can’t make a down-payment until Friday.
