From the article:
> There were countless visits to the doctor and to hospital. Each time there would be medical tests. “Honestly, I think it was psychological,” said José. “Edwin had a lot of anxiety, but the doctors focused on physical causes.”
Doesn't look to me like the answer was "tough love" or "go do some gardening", in particular when taking into account he eventually ends his own life.
This really feels like a lack of psychological treatment that might have been needed very early, and just go way way worse as it went untreated.
