I don't think money or capitalism plays to much of a role though. As IMHO, poor people who aren't on drugs or have mental health issues are generally okay if they have loving family, friends, and romantic partner who they can talk to.

Money issues can certainly contribute and effect many more than “poor people”. I got laid off in October and only have 6 weeks of unemployment left. I have over 20 years experience and struggling to get responses to my applications. Possibly age, as new grads are cheaper, IDK. But it’s deeply rejecting as well as worrying. I am 58 where on earth do I begin to start over if I can’t get hired in my field? I try to concentrate on what I can do (i.e. learning Spanish to increase my skills, having resume fine tuned, applying for a professional license in another state etc) but as time goes on of course it gets me down. I’m at the point where I’m thinking of applying for jobs such as delivery for dominoes. But when they find out what my profession is, I don’t think they will hire me because it’s so far above the requirements to be a dominoes driver they will know I wouldn’t stay if I got another professional job offer. Simply talking to people really doesn’t do as much to help as you think. Talking to people isn’t going to keep me financially solvent for the next 20 years.
To think that economic factors are not connected to good mental health, I don’t know where you’re getting that from.
