Would not the Mormon God have inspired His servants, the prophets, to have addressed this growing problem?

Nope! Yet another "grass roots" thing to help Mormons deal with being Mormon.

Any many of them think recovery from Mormonism is not a thing.

Thanks for the link. I'm glad someone cares enough about these kids to teach others how to treat them. My younger brother and BIL both came home early for medical issues that weren't visible and people were bad to both of them. It's voluntary people, missionaries pay to serve! They should feel free to come home anytime and for any reason. No one should care or question why someone is back.

Those are a couple of "shoulds" not supported by apostolic sanctions.

But so it goes. And they continue to go and continue to suffer and every year some die. Jesus is supposed to watch over them right?

Ziller’s nephew just got back from a mission to some South American chit-hole.

The kid that left on the mission was not the same kid who came back.

Dude who left on the mission was a strong, handsome, confident, spitting-image of his dad at that age (no homo)

Dude who came back from the mission looked about three years YOUNGER (srs – at first Ziller thought he was his younger brother)

He had a shell-shocked blank look and moved and held his body like he might have been in some kind of actual physical pain.

Dude literally acted retarded (no offends to real retards) and was having trouble stringing sentences together.

People would ask him a question (about HIS mission) and his TBM parental units would jump in and answer for him while he sat there and mumbled.

Srs-ly spooky WTF feels

Its like dude got heavy metals poisoned down there or something.

Ziller, that sounds exactly like my little brother that completed his mission! My brother that left his mission early has much better mental health.

If he was in the Chile Antofagasta mission, that just might be the case. There are cities in the Antofagasta mission, including the City of Antofagasta, where the earth and water contain naturally occurring arsenic. It's not all that deadly per se, but there are the occasional individuals with heightened sensitivity who can suffer severe consequences.

Ziller, please check out the link on the RfM main page regarding legal action for medical conditions not properly handled on LDS missions.
