Providing mental health services to people in need means you are a servant of the devil.

Heh.

It’s a sad statement that in a lot of ways, the lucky ones are the ones who have their mental health issues show before they turn 18. At that age, parents can compel treatment.

Unfortunately, schizophrenia in particular generally doesn’t show until the 20s. For a recent high profile example, see Amanda Byrnes. It takes an incredible amount of shit to get named incapable of making your own medical decisions, and a lot of people are very resistant to treatment when dealing with mental health issues (sometimes due to those issues and sometimes not).
