Answer 1

Answer:

b. Approximately 75% of children with mental health problems receives proper services

Explanation:

                In the United States, nearly one in every five children suffers from either mental health disorder or emotional disorder or behavioral disorder. Some of these disorders are depression, anxiety, tourette syndrome, hyperactivity disorder and many more.

               The federal government provides mental health care facilities to such children but it is challenging to the families to get their child mental health care. Only  about 20 percent of the children who suffers from these disorders gets access to or receives these cares from some specialized care provider.

Hence, option (b) is correct.
