Dr. Denise Grant�s recent study states that young children who have
a low white blood cell count have the tendency to score lower on
mental health diagnostics than do children with normal or high white

is based?
(A) Psychological treatment of mental illness in young children is
not as effective as is drug therapy.

mental illness.

affects the body. |
