The problem with the current attention given to mental health issues is that it misses the point. A society whose bottom line is competition for wealth is inherently unhealthy, and its citizens will inevitably reflect the brokenness of spirit that derives from such a lack of love

Of course you can’t, but you can create conditions that make it far easier.

You think people in Communist societies don't have mental health issues?

I mean that respectfully: for once I would like to see someone like yourself to just say here’s something I’d like to get done, I need x amount of resources and I’d like to get it done by x date. Here’s the plan and timeline. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Capitalism isn't a competition for wealth, it is a competition to deliver value in the terms of the receivers. Now, given the human condition of longing for love and trying to fill that hole in their hearts with anything but...often money and the chase for money is substituted.

If you remove competition, that requires the use of force. Now, the competition for wealth becomes a competition for power. The same driver of greed is still part of a substitute for love. The problem is the hole in our hearts, not competition to deliver value.
