The article says there is correlation to mental health but specifically is this due to the lack of access? From anecdotes, I hear it is expensive and could contribute to the restrictive access?
Mental health is treated in as taboo in the US and many insurances don't cover extensive mental health treatment. Also, the poor don't have access to quality mental health, or it is very hard to qualify. So, add those to the general sense that mental health is not an issue, and you're weak if you show mental health issues in large areas of the US so many people simply can't or won't seek treatment. Ouroboros in action.
