Mental health treatment has always been very far behind in Asian countries. For example, a lot of Asian parents will treat things like depression as being "sloppy" or "lazy", or if you have anxiety, they'll think you're irrational and there's nothing to be afraid of. It's been slowly improving, but some of these videos are older and it was even worse back then. So much respect to Natural9 and Kobayashi though. He seemed to genuinely want to help him and wasn't just using him for content considering he continued helping even off stream.

You can't force someone to get chemo, just as you can't force someone to get treatment for mental health issues. If a struggling person thinks nothing is wrong with them, then nothing will be done.

This is so deeply depressing. Genuinely, my heart hurts watching this, especially as someone who has struggled with their mental health (not psychosis, though). He needs help, and he deserves it, so does everyone else. Instead, he was treated like he wasn't human and just a funny meme man that you can earn fake internet points from if you mess with him. I cannot imagine how difficult it is to deal with real life trolls and stalkers, let alone when you are already suffering from delusions that led it to happen in the first place. His behaviour wasn't great, but he wasn't really in control of it because he couldn't really make reasonable decisions or weigh up consequences. He did what his brain told him to do, not the other way around. And instead of people seeing that and trying to get him help, they preyed on him and made fun of him, just furthering his suffering. That is so gross and depressing and truly despicable. The fact that Japan (and other developed countries, like South Korea) still don't have any kind of care or awareness of mental health is horrific. How can these countries be developed when nobody can get psychological help, and if they do, then they're subjected to that stigma forever? I'm not saying other countries are good at mental health, but at least we've progressed past this somewhat. I have seen trolls in the west stop once they realised someone was mentally unwell/developmentally disabled/whatever. Not all of them, and they shouldn't have been doing it in the first place, but they will at least try to get them help and call welfare checks. I don't always think it's from a good place, but I think it can be good. Better than acting out someone's persectution delusions, at least.

[@sittingstill3578]

In South Korea, mental health professionals are used by the State to falsely accuse and institutionalize people for the rest of their lives. I met a police officer in Cheonan, South Korea, who told me that they harass people until they can get them in such a condition that they can be institutionalized for the rest of their lives.

in my country they can only force you into a mental hospital for up to 2 nights. After that if you want to leave and there seems no immediate harm to you or others, they have to let you go. There are options to take away your free decision making and get a government-ordered caretaker who can decide for you, but this is only done for extreme cases, like last stages of dementia for example. If someone needs help, they need to want help, since you can't really force someone to accept help and it's only going to be successful if the person being helped cooperates.
