    agree with you here too. Individual problems exist and should be taken seriously as well. I took that as a given and thus didn’t mention it and wanted to focus more on the side that gets neglected faaaar too often

    Socialism will not solve all mental health issues, people will always have personal problems, familiar predispositions etc. etc.
    However, a lot of conditions/triggers/main reason would be resolved

    As you said, it’s both structural/systemic and individual problems. We need both a change in economics and social structures, that empower the working people of this world, bring the economy into their ownership and democratise it and high quality non-dogmatig and unstigmatised free healthcare, social services and so on

      I totally get why you highlighted the structural side of it. In discussions of mental health problems it usually gets dismissed or ignored. In capitalist fashion, many of these problems get blamed on the individuals :(
