    Even if that wasn’t the case, the main advertised methods for helping are medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, better diets and exercise, all of which are heavily bounded by one’s financial condition.

    People do as they will, but they do so while bound by their social conditions, or something of the sort.

      Well that’s exactly it. If you’ve suffered from abuse and trauma but you live in poverty, you won’t be able to afford the resources to manage your mental health. As well as the added weight of homelessness, hunger, debt collectors coming after you, can be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
