“TeenScreen is a ‘mental health’ screening system. Using a computer program, teenagers are asked questions to root out the symptoms of ‘mental illness.’ Those students giving the right (or wrong) answers to the questions are then delivered to persons trained to spot psychiatric ‘disorders,’ usually employees of a local ‘mental health’ treatment facility. TeenScreen claims to be funded mainly by private foundations, the identities of which are carefully kept secret. For reasons that might be made clear if only their identities were known, the hidden supporters of TeenScreen are in favor of widespread mental health screening and referral to treatment.” (04/29/06)
