I agree with your theory that those suffering with mental illness are failed by the system to the point they commit passive or active suicide. The system is not designed to heal them, its designed to be a profit engine.
I agree with both of the quoted statements.
Here are my 2 cents to the discussion (only facts):
Mental illness does not exist. It is only a metaphor for behaviors that are unacceptable. A book which classifies annoying or unacceptable behaviors exists (DSM).
Cure or treatment for unacceptable behaviors is a nonsense and will never exist. Brain-disabling drugs however do exist.
And so people are getting brain assaulted and brain disabled for behaviors that the society will not tolerate. Once you are seen having any of the forbidden behaviors described in the DSM, you get a life-time pseudoscientific label and you are likely to get killed by brain-disabling drugs. Those drugs are also actively doing a brain damage, so you will be disabled even if you stop taking them.
Everything regarding treatment, help, support, concern about you, all of that is BS to make you more compliant with the brain-disabling drug. The successes of these drugs are also BS. I have been personally a victim of a quack who wrote things into the reports that were absolutely not true, and he just falsified how terribly seriously ill I was (when I am healthy), and how exceptionally efficient the drug is (when I was just telling him what he wanted to hear to get released, and I was spitting the drug out because it was severely disabling me and made me very suicidal. I was never suicidal ever, I have a happy life, it was 100% the drug, and the moment I started spitting it out the problem immediately stopped).
So once again, mental illness does not exist, ordinary behaviors that are unacceptable by the society do exist, instead of solving the cause of those behaviors you will be brain assaulted with brain disabling drugs, BSed, and coerced to take them against your will, or injected, and you can also get the community assault team to come inject you into your house, or quacks who make you much worse in their report than you really are, and they do it by writing extremely negative things, and skipping everything good or objective about you.
Since it is a pseudoscience, and they have the absolute power while you have none, your opinion is completely excluded, truth and facts are never written there, never validated, verified, or proven (scientifically or otherwise), and the only thing in this pseudoscience is a quack's opinion. That very opinion is always subjective, disputable, unscientific, based on limited insights of the quack, and in my experience based on the need to fill hospital beds at every cost, and prescribe dangerous drugs to everybody who gets into the quacks hands at every cost, even at the cost of falsifying information, and making terribly exaggerated arguments without any evidence, incl. a very negative prognosis saying your health will worsen if you do not use the brain disabling drug. (and as we know that mental disorder does not exist, only behavior exists, we also know that behavior has nothing to do with health, and that brain disabling drug has to do with health, and terribly much. That very argument is therefore a BS because health will worsen with the brain disabling / damaging drug, and behavior can be ALWAYS improved without any drugs.)
There is no drug in the world that cures any behaviors, and all psychiatric drugs only disable you, so that your behavior stops being visible to others. Even if you are not doing anything wrong like in my case, there can be just one crime report you made, and when it sounds hard to believe and you have no evidence to prove it happened, there can be a quack arguing with you that you made it up, and that it means you are severely mentally ill, delusional, paranoid, etc. (all the bunch of BS based on water, he has no evidence things did not happen. But because it is a pseudoscience he does not have to prove anything, he has his opinion, locks you up, prescribes dangerous disabling drugs, and labels you for life-time.)
btw. the original post at the top lacks logic. There are not any connections to say A causes B. I disagree with that post, but if the author wanted to say that quacks will disable you using serious drugs just for having (once) in their opinion an unacceptable behavior, and that they will label you with a derogatory label for life-time, knowingly harm your real health and BS you they are helping you, I would agree with this. I also agree that anyone with disrupted brain function (blocked dopamine or serotonine) is always very much at risk of committing a suicide and yes, probably all people can recover from any bad behavior on their own and live a normal life for as long as they have opportunities to socialize with other people.
Behavior is a knowledge / education / reasoning / perception problem. Behavior is not illness, and behavior cannot possibly be treated or cured, and by disabling you it makes you always worse, your real health suffers, and your behavior is never fixed because when disabled, you cannot socialize with anyone, you get even more isolated, and yes, you may decide to end your life because you do not know what to do.
