The Patriot Post® · DC's 'Mental Disorder'

This statistic explains a lot. A new report on the Social Security Disability Insurance Program reveals that of the more than 10 million Americans collecting disability benefits, 35% are characterized as having a “mental disorder,” topping all categories. In Washington, DC, however, that number jumps to 43.2% of recipients. We’ll need to dig a little deeper into the data, but we’re expecting to find that the majority of these individuals work on Capitol Hill.
