Allopathic medicine, within which is the mental health sector prescribing pharmaceuticals to manage symptoms, focuses on data collected from standardized tests and protocols which do not take an individual into consideration. That is not to say people are never helped from this; allopathy is very good at dealing with acute situations.
Somehow allopathic medicine has circumvented common sense in many ways. Diet, exercise, and connection to others and nature doesn't seem to have a place in addressing health concerns from their standpoint. Whatever the situation, whether pharmaceuticals are indicated or not, connecting to nature and others, good diet and some sort of exercise would be beneficial.
The general state of mental health across the world I also think has been very affected by the digital age. Many people are attached to their phones/devices watching life rather than even noticing what is going on around them, including the people they love. I'm not trying to place blame, I only see this happening and that it is very addictive from my observation. The internet has paradoxically allowed more connection (virtually) and more separation (in the real world).
There are plants that help with balancing mental health as well, aside from the paradigm-shifting psychedelics, such as St. John's Wort for depression. Plants are the healers on this planet. It's worth researching herbs and plants for particular issues.
