Does society actually care about mental health or does it just want to appear more virtuous than it actually is?

Generally speaking by the way

It doesn’t nor it never did. Most people are power hungry and to gain that power they need the peoples trust

nobody takes it seriously until somebody dies.

I think society tries to care but there is so much more that can be done. Look at most homeless out there, a lot of them have mental health conditions and they aren’t getting the help (or have the funding for help) while they are living on the streets, battling addiction, and many die to overdose. It’s really sad when you have loved ones and/or family in that condition and don’t even know where they are.

Society mostly cares about mental health because mentally ill people scare the crap out of them.

If that's the case, why do people mock incels or lonely men who are potentially dealing with mental health issues?
