Mental Health Statistics

September 6, 2011

58.2 million people in the United States are diagnosed with mental illnesses every year. Interestingly enough our presidential election has been determined by far less people.

A recent European study has found that obese women have more difficulty finding a partner for sex than women who were not obese. Well that just stands to reason, doesn’t it?
