Suicide prevention programs (in the U.S) are seen as a good thing; but I think they’re just being abused to prevent workers from escaping the western slave society.

EDIT: I think suicide prevention is a good thing. I’m just saying that the bourgeois seem suspiciously supportive of it, considering how little they care about other health issues.

    From my experience most psychological help is aimed toward the individual in need and does not tackles systemic issues. I wonder how well researched that is.

    In capitalism realism Mark Fisher argues that increasing mental health issues in western society are a byproduct of capitalism.

    Moreover the whole “self-help” trend is just pure neoliberalism.
