I see what you mean, except mental illnesses can't be treated like a broken leg can be. Mental health is a difficult subject. Imagine the problem it can be to treat homosexual as equals in the political scene, it will be another story to have consideration for the mentally ill. The more we become a society of people with knowledge rather than social norms and morals, the more we will be able to progress. I also really believe that group therapy should be the future of therapy... Maybe you should have a conversation with a psychologist or a therapist and talk about those things. A possibility is also that patients need to be told that nothing is their fault. It can take a lot of time to defuse the person's belief that a he/she is not "defective". There is no shame in going to therapy, it's all about talking, because that the most concrete thing you can do with a brain.
