I think more sadly, this strange "mental health" defence has been used to justify the needless deaths of 100,000s of people from COVID. There are orders of magnitude differences in the fatality rates of full lockdown mental health issues and zero lock down COVID deaths, it's not a hard decision at all. Compare Wuhan and New York WAY less death in Wuhan, with a much harsher authoritarian style lockdown (maximum mental duress you'd think). Or Melbourne Australia with a very strict lockdown compared with pick any major American city you like. Major difference in death rates. Edit: The trolley problem is really easy if one option kills 10,000 people and the other one kills 5... that's kind of difference we are talking about.
