Speaking of suffering observations. Why do you assume most people who live in areas without available mental healthcare are aware of that?
> Practically every country in the world has some form of accessible mental health care.
The language there qualifies any country with a therapist. I think what you meant is that the vast bulk of the population, in all 195 countries (excepting a handful), has reliable, practical access to mental healthcare.
As I consider African populations and folks who live in economically disadvantaged South and Central American nations I find myself filling with skepticism over that claim.
