their daughters’ husbands for their labor, loyalty, and
love;
Whereas all men who are responsible and loyal to their
spouses and their families should be especially rewarded

•HJ 349 IH
Whereas mental illness is a problem of grave concern and
consequence in the United States and it is widely, but
unnecessarily, feared and misunderstood;
Whereas on an annual basis 40,000,000 adults in the United
States experience clearly diagnosable mental disorders,
including mental illness, alcohol abuse, and drug abuse,
which create significant disabilities with respect to em-
ployment, school attendance, and independent living;
Whereas more than 11,200,000 United States citizens are di-
agnosed with schizophrenia, manic depressive disorder,
and major depression; and these individuals are often dis-
abled for long periods of time;
Whereas 1⁄3 of homeless persons suffer serious, chronic forms
of mental illness;
Whereas mental disorders affect almost 22 percent of adults
in the United States in any 1-year period, with an addi-
tional 6 percent affected by substance abuse disorders;
Whereas mental illness interferes with the development and
maturation of at least 7,000,000 to 12,000,000 American
children;
Whereas anxiety disorders are the most prevalent of the men-
tal disorders, affecting 12.6 percent of the adult popu-
lation, phobia disorders affect 10.9 percent, obsessive-
compulsive disorder 2.1 percent, and panic disorder 1.3
percent;
Whereas 1.1 percent of the population develops schizophrenia
during their lifetimes, which means that 2,000,000 Amer-
icans are affected by schizophrenia in any given year and
occupy an estimated 100,000 hospital beds on any given
day;

Whereas the United States rose to the challenge and formu-
