This is a good issue that's worthy of blogging. We're open to learn about it.

It is the same everywhere that I know of love, and I am so sorry for your family.
Mental health never attracts a very large slice of the finacial pie set aside for Health. Babies, children...it is much easier to get money because it is so emotional for all when kids suffer. Lots of things like cancer bring in dollars from all sorts of community based fund raisers. But Mental health and old age? Not enough care is given.
I just pray that SIL caqn get the help he deserves.

I think there are to reasons why mental illness is not being addressed.
1. People do not think the people they know or themselves could be capable of being so harmful.
2. Systemic issues are in play that make it tough for someone to get another person help.

Re:
That is why they need to spend money on mental health because that leads to other bigger problems

In answer to your last question, I think it is because there are so many in need of care that they just can't keep up with what is needed.
