I think the issue is the term “mental treatment”. Do you want social workers to come by once in a while? Of course: Have a talk, ask whether everything about the apartment is in order – not an inspection, more the “if the drain doesn’t work and you don’t know what to do call us” kind of thing. But that’s not therapy, it’s at most psycho-sociological counselling. Therapy in most cases won’t even work because there’s the bulk of people’s core issues is shitty life syndrome and there’s no pill against capitalism.
Psychotic schizos (acutely or otherwise) should already be in an institution and on haloperidol and for the rest of us (yes you’ve stumbled across one on the spectrum) the same applies as for normies. There’s no pills against the spectrum, either and yes we’re kinda prone to shitty life syndrome on account of shitty society seeping through our barely existent self boundaries. Housing provides space and calm to work through the shit and please make doubly sure that social worker isn’t conducting an inspection.

I agree, but I’m not talking about the bulk of people. I’m talking about the vocal few with serious mental issues, like schizophrenia.

We don’t have institutions anymore, so that would be more or less what I’m taking about. Housing and treatment.
