Mental illness is on the rise in Latin America, according to one theory, due to the worsening national economies and their attendant instability, unemployment, and lower living standards. Psychiatric disorders will continue to rise in the coming years, especially if the foreign-debt crisis is not solved. Twenty-five percent of Latin America's adult population suffers from psychological disorders, and 1.7 percent suffers from serious mental illness. The attribution of these ills to foreign debt cannot be scientifically deduced, but the theory is a possible explanation and the region's governments should be apprised of the problem.
Which of the propositions below is not consistent with this argument?
A. Psychiatric disorders will continue to rise without the foreign-debt crisis.
B. The theory that mental illness in America is caused by foreign debt can be scientifically deduced from the worsening national economies and their attendant instability_
C. Unemployment and lower living standards among adult Latin Americans have contributed to a rise in psychological disorders.
D. Latin American governments are not fully aware of the connection between economic crisis and mental illness.
E. Psychiatric disorders may continue to rise even if the foreign-debt crisis is solved.
