As a country. Metal health in America is bullshit. Other countries take it way more seriously.

The story says this happened in Argentina.

Yes, I was specifically talking about America. I don't know how mental health is in Argentina.

Edit: Not entirely sure why I'm being downvoted here. Why would I talk about mental health care in Argentina? I've never sent foot into the country and the only thing I know about it is that the city of Buenos Aires is in it.

You're probably being dogpiled for perceived Ameri-centrism.

The irony, in my mind, is that while you were kinda veering the discussion in a different direction, per your edit you explicitly did so because you have no knowledge of mental healthcare in Argentina which is very much not Ameri-centrism.

If I had to put words to most of the downvotes, they would probably say "fuck you, this is a discussion about Argentina's mental healthcare, not mental healthcare more broadly," which again in a bit of irony, detracts from the discussion of how to address mental health crises.
