I agree, but...

I agree that this definition (that health is individual etc) is probably the least wrong definition that we have come up with this semester, but I'm not sure if it helps our broken mental health system at all. If everyone is individual, how do you help them cost effectively? How do you know how to help them at all? How do you even know WHEN they need help?

I understand and agree with the logic that what is (mentally) healthy for one person could be unhealthy for another, but how can we change the current system to be able to work in this new paradigm?
