I was just wondering what people know about the treatment and/or stigma of people with mental health problems in other countries besides the USA?

I'm in the USA now but lived in London for awhile, and I feel the two were/are about the same. I do tend to isolate myself, though, so I may not have been out/around enough to tell the difference.

Social services are at varying degrees of dysfunction in every country and are set to worsen due to the collapse. If you have mental health problems, you are far more likely to be poor, unemployed, homeless etc, and just as likely to end up in jails as get treatment

Statistically yes but do you think that some countries say mainstream people with obvious mental health problems. Or that in some countries someone working as a supervisor could easily let it be known with no repercussions to the job?
Or the very basics. I know even from county to county or State to State people are treated differently. Say are provided more needed services like job training. Lots of examples, do you get what I am saying. I did hear something about society treating people with mental health problems better in Israel than in the USA but I do not know what was meant by that.
