The World Health Organization says between 75 and 85 percent had no treatment within the past year. In developed countries, between 35 and 50 percent went untreated. Professors of Harvard University examined the results of questions asked of more than 60,000 adults in 14 countries between 2001 and 2003. They asked the same questions in every interview. They wanted to estimate how many people have mental disorders. The percentage of people who said they had a mental disorder differed greatly from country to country. The researchers found that for most countries the rate was between 9 and 20 percent. The United States had the highest, at 26 percent of those questioned. China had the lowest, at four percent. The researchers say they believe this difference shows how mental health is seen differently around the world. They say people in many non-Western countries are often less likely to admit they have problems. In almost every country, the more severe a problem was, the more likely it was to be treated. Still, the researchers say many people with minor mental health problems are treated, while many with serious disorders are not. They say this is not simply a problem of limited treatment resources. It also shows that resources are not being used well. The researchers call for new efforts at early interference. They say early treatment of minor disorders could prevent many serious cases later. 22.What is the passage mainly talking about?A) Effective measures to fight against mental disorders.
