Facebook doesn't have the moral legitimacy to take on this task. No for-profit tech company should be diagnosing or reporting mental illness.

I do understand the desire to address these troubling issues. I would argue these are symptoms of underlying issues that are better addressed at a deeper level. I'm thinking of the fractured and isolated nature of living in many modern cities, increased loneliness, huge overload of low quality, addictive information, inability to unplug from our devices and be mindful of our current experience, false sense of connectedness found in social media, etc.
