Low-key wondering about how many cases of psychiatric disorders would disappear in a true egalitarian communist society. At this point I'm honestly thinking more than half the current amount - so many cases of depression are linked to overworking, lack of local community, and the like; so many cases of suicide are linked to non-acceptance of gay or trans people. Not to mention, there are quite a few signs in anthropology that even stuff such as schizophrenia can vary widely and even be relatively benign in different cultural contexts.
Social scientists have been on this shit since forever. Suicide by Emile Durkheim details how the alienation of living in an alienated capitalist society drives people towards depression and suicide and it was written in 1897
