Yeah, I know. Around here too, the mental healthcare is seriously underfunded. However through the media, there have been year long campaigns to rectify the situation, and slowly I get the impression things get somewhat better.
But it still doesn't hinder the occasional tragedy. Like this one. Shit happens, but it is just so unnecessary when you know this particular one could be hindered if only the means to do so was available. Or more correctly, prioritized.
(A childhood friend of mine, have had to struggle with mental disorder first developed whilst taking a higher degree in physics. With good support from family and friends, and after a great deal of nagging, he was processed quickly through our mental healthcare system (free btw), and is still not cured by any means. But at least recovering to a significant degree. Even got his diploma
