Yeah. The way we treat mental illness is like... ok, imagine you're a doctor in Toyama Prefecture, Japan, 1920s. A patient comes in with back pain. You give him aspirin (or the equivalent). Ankle fracture. Splint. Weak, pale, tired. Iron supplements.
Agreed. The concept of mental health misses the broader context of everything happening outside your mind. Sometimes people are depressed because their lives / environments are depressing.
