I think it's because the system isn't set up for it. Our emergency departments (although fairly overwhelmed) are great when you present with obvious physical injuries. But mental health, though equally as important, is far harder to triage and more expensive to treat. I don't know what the answers are but it's something that far more research needs to be done in.
You've highlighted a critical issue in our healthcare system. Mental health often takes a backseat despite its profound impact. Increasing research and resources are crucial for better support. Your insight is invaluable.
