It's not just a sad affliction for poor people "and those who are doing well won't be affected". No amount of money will fix your mental health. Not a £100 therapy session and not a £billion fortune.
A lot of very rich celebrities have serious mental health issues. We should know by now that material wealth and opportunity has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Very good post
There are a lot of 'functioning' addicts. Can keep down a job, pay the bills, have friends, BUT still have bad addiction.
