Mental Health In the Solarpunk community? (self.solarpunk)

So I have noticed from reading through posts and my own research that there isn't much information on how mental health and psychology would be taken care of and implemented. I could very well be wrong and would appreciate anyone's pointing me to an initial resource in order to understand more. And if it hasn't been confronted as a problem, I would like to ruminate with others on what those possibilities could look like. We can't eschew mental health.

It would be really helpful for further discussion if you backed up your reasoning with a direct refution of something they said. Even if it's just an example. It's a lot easier to keep discussing where we need more intersectional viewpoints if we know what you find lacking.

I didn't think the obvious things like people who are disabled or have things like ADHD needed explanation, to be fair. And those things are basic enough to me to warrant a refute of the poster's reasoning.

I'm sorry I'm not seeing a seemingly obvious connection.

We already consider disabilities and ADHD in the mental health continuum; so it's not clear to me why would this need to change for solarpunk.

I would love to hear what needs to be changed specific to solarpunk, but may I suggest we close this specific comment line and focus on the other one?
