"Mental health" is a worthless topic. Any time looking at the field of psychology and psychiatry shows that these studies are in the dark ages of their medical fields, and they are incapable of actually healing the insane.
In real medicine, we define disease by cause, not by symptom. But, read the through the DSM manuals, and you will realize they are nothing but cold reading, child's own collections of symptoms, and not actual factual diagnosis of disease. A quick look through shows that many of the definitions are closer to women's magazine questionaires, and are just as thoroughly useless. The field of diagnosis is at best nearly useless, and at worst dangerous in its capacity for abuse. Personality disorders and diagnosis for "mental illness" have been abused in the past, and will be again in the future. Hardly solid, useful medicine and science.
Even when they can diagnose certain obvious problems, like severe bipolar or disabled or deranged schizophrenics, their ability to treat is often limited, or sometimes nearly useless. Certainly, some bipolar people have shown great progress with treatment, but many psychotic people can only be "treated" with major tranquilizers and kept permanently institutionalized. Which is hardly better than what was used to "treat" them before modern "mental health care". Often, the real "treatment' is just to dope them up so badly they can't act crazy.
Anti depression treatments that often WORSEN symptoms instead of improve them (notice how many mass shooters were on medication from your vaunted "mental healthcare system"), we have more counselors and people are encouraged to talk talk about their emotional problems, yet all these "mental health care professionals" are more prevalent even as suicides go UP, depression goes up, and people are MORE unhealthy.
These people don't have any answers, they can't help the sick, and they can't go around diagnosing and "fixing" the dangerous people. They have been given endless resources and support, been pushed into all institutions in society, and yet under their care, many things have only gotten worse. Do not simply give into "logical fallacy, appeal to authority". They are powerless, and the problems you want to fix so badly aren't within their ability to fix.
One of the greatest social cancers after WW 2 was this boundless optimism, this mass insanity that Man had finally overcome every obstacle and could fix anything, that technocrats and magic scientists could do anything and had no limits. They aren't magic, they can't do everything, the State and scientists are not omnipotent.
More money and support for "mental health", a worthless mantra mindlessly repeated, at best will do absolutely nothing positive. At worst, it will lead to Soviet style abuses of the population.
Resist the temptation.
