Change "flucatuates" (misspelled) to "fluctuates". Mario I Rossi (talk) 04:10, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the typo. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 05:56, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm asking that we remove the comedy/tragedy icon from within the summary section. As a serious disease, which affects real people, it the subject shouldn't be reduced to a cartoon symbol. Similarly, readers looking for information to may have a diminished opinion of the content when presented with symbolism instead of professional facts, analysis, or history.

Suggest replacing this with an icon related to the health classification, such as described here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9791613/ 129.78.56.157 (talk) 00:43, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This has been discussed several times and can be found in the talk page archive. There was a RfC in 2016 here. Personally I am not a member of the fan club for this image, but it does have its supporters.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 06:40, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please change sentence:

In the United States, about 3% are estimated to be affected at some point in their life; rates appear to be similar in females and males.

To:

In the United States, about 2.5% to 3% are estimated to be affected at some point in their life; rates appear to be similar in females and males. About 1% of American teenagers are affected

@Hairmercould you please explain how you have a conflict of interest with this article? Also, the sourcing standard here is WP:MEDRS, which is higher than for most other articles - I have no carefully evaluated but strongly suspect this source does not pass it. Rusalkii (talk) 20:27, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I just noticed the "paid by MHA" on your page, sorry. I don't think this is a better source than the existing ones, and I don't think it makes sense to include the number of teenagers affected in the lead. Rusalkii (talk) 20:32, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks. They are a credible organization around since 1909 that have done lot's of research on mental health. Hairmer (talk) 20:48, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
