Cate Blanchett, like most Australians, thinks she’s middle class. An expert on class explains why that matters (theconversation.com)

Every possible choice will have an exception for someone who have a mental health disorder that keeps them from being able to make a choice. Your example is an irrelevant outlier that does not contradict the reality that 99.99% of people in the same position can make the choice

Your assumption and conclusion is incorrect based on my experience. Why do you think people with personality disorders disproportionately populate executive positions in corporations? Why are sociopaths great surgeons? Look at rates of alcoholism and suicide amongst professions, and then tell me if those rates support your conclusion that mental health issues amongst those who make money is an outlier.
