A synapsis: At present, twenty million Americans suffer from major depression; and another sixteen million experience severe anxiety that warrant a psychiatric diagnosis. Twenty million Americans more have serious problems with substance abuse. The compounded cost of depression to Americans reaches a staggering 83 billion dollars a year. From a psychological perspective, this generation of Americans is suffering more than any preceding one. For many in this country, the American "dream" has turned into a "nightmare."
Why America Suffers is a book intended to waken us up from the nightmare.
