"Star Trek and the like also have utopia levels of medical tech. Physical level problems are all solvable with their level of technology."
The poorly written second season of Star Trek Picard had a character who was suicidal and refused treatment, then killed herself.
I think people refuse treatment in real life because the drugs don't work too well, not because they don't want to feel better, and at any rate you can't have a utopias if people choose to due horrible things to themselves or each other, you just have real life, so I think it went against the tradition of Star Trek being utopian fiction.
