This is the medical model of disability fallacy: someone can't function in society so there must be something wrong with them that we should try to fix--but society itself is just the same neutral backdrop for everyone. The alternative is to acknowledge that society/environment plays a big role in mental health and that because society isn't primarily structured to keep people healthy, some people will expectedly have poor mental health.
