I'd argue that any solution would have to address two gigantic causes of mental health problems in the U.S.
1. The news is incredibly scary and disempowering.
We spend way too much time reading headlines about horrifying things that are happening without being able to act. To address this problem, the government must take any number of measures to stop doing evil things and stop other people from doing evil things. The government should stop funding useless and inhumane wars worldwide, attempt to make peace with its enemies -- particularly Iran -- and work to provide more foreign aid to countries that are struggling.
The US also needs to clamp down harder on unethical business practices such as data harvesting, excessive carbon emissions, and literal slavery.
2. Tons of people are under intense economic pressure that prevents them from fulfilling their most basic desires.
This can be remedied by instating a UBI or at least reforming the welfare system to be more comprehensive and come with fewer strings attached.

That's fucking brilliant!
We could make a list of things that people shouldn't do.
We could call them 'LAWS' - and people would obey the laws and our problems would be solved!
Thanks Blue!
