Dear Colleagues,

Anger and aggression are everywhere - on the road, in the schools, at little league games. Today's newsletter focuses on issues related to anger and aggressive behavior.

This week the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration released a report showing that the percent of health care dollars spent for mental health and substance abuse treatment is down from 1987 despite the fact that approximately 28 percent of American adults experience a mental health or substance abuse disorder in the course of any given year.

Please feel free to forward this information to professional colleagues, who can sign-up for a free subscription to Friday's Progress Notes at http://www.athealth.com/Practitioner/Newsletter/fpn_subscribe.html
