One in three New York schoolchildren suffered mental disorders in the wake of the September 9/11 attacks.
Almost a third of the city youngsters experienced one or more of six anxiety disorders in the first six months after the attack.
Furthemore, the most troubled children were not necessarily those living in the direct vicinity of the Ground Zero site.

I think this report is highly overrated. The first thing you learn as a new Psychology or Psychiatrist student at any University is:
"Put a group of normal people in any setting or situation. If observed by a psychiatrist, they will immediately diagnose the majority if not the entire group as having some kind of mental disorder or psychotic disposition."
This has been proven ad nauseum under double-blind settings over the decades.
