Significantly mentally ill folks? I have no clue. Nothing to say there.
But for general depression and anxiety that is plaguing people today? I think the root cause is our economic system. An expansion of the welfare state would help. Mandatory 2 weeks paid vacation leave for all employees, a higher starting wage, free childcare, a comprehensive free public healthcare system... that would be a start. The less people worry about money/the less they feel they live to work, the more they'll be able to live a fuller life and I think a net increase in happiness would follow.
