I don't think this problem is "often ignored" as much as it is seen, rightly, as so difficult to be near unfeasible. And looking for intermediate fixes that can help many in the meantime is a reasonable strategy. Anything that would fix society at large, in a reasonable timespan (i.e. to help the people most afflicted) would by necessity require a legislative overhaul and/or massive reallocation of resources. There is no easy path to that.

Maybe not often ignored, but often mentioned or seriously evaluated? I guess my point is: As someone who has struggled with mental illness and PTSD for most of my life, I generally get the sense that somehow I’m to blame for it because I don’t exercise, meditate, eat well, etc., enough or can’t just “visualize” myself without it (Though I’m not saying that’s what you’re saying should happen, and I get the monumental difficulty involved).

Of course I don’t believe in absolute free will so that may have something to do with my outlook...
