I'm all for helping those in mental distress.  But I wish we would also do more to address the root causes of mental illness.  I daresay that much (not all of it, but much of it) mental illness is a result of abuse.  
The actions of an abusive family member/boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse or pervy family acquaintance can really debilitate a person's mental state.  The abuse can be physical (including sexual) or psychological.  
Abuse of a child can take the form of physical abuse.  But we also need to recognize the psychological forms of child abuse, i.e. overindulgence, lack of boundaries/discipline - and at the other end of the spectrum, abject cruelty masquerading as 'discipline.'  
Then there's systemic abuse that occurs as a result of our innate herd mentality.  Anyone deemed to be 'different' is fair game.
If we, as a society, took more measures to prevent abuse, we'd have a lot less mental health issues.
