A lot of psychology and psychiarty is not proper science. I'm not saying it doesn't have value, but people should be sceptical. Of course, don't go the other way and join scientology.

I think a lot of mental health problems are due to SLS.

If suspect that if we gave the mentally ill 2k and told them to go on a nice holiday, buy some healthy food, take care of their most urgent bills, many of them would be better off than after a mandatory hold in an underfunded mental health ward or a prescription of xanax from an overworked general practicioner.

High quality mental health care is probably far better, but that's not what most people have access to.
