What kind of programs do non-US countries have to take care of people with mental illness? The actual medical care would be easier to get for sure, but the type of care described in the article ("She bought a 5,000-square-foot house on an acre of California's Central Coast, a spot they chose in the hope that his father, Rendon, could walk with him along the shore. She worked with a landscape architect to tailor the outdoor space to Lee's needs...") seems like it would be hard to get in any country.
