Yes, the job market, decline in socialising, wage stagnation, difficulties starting a family, house prices, greedflation, mental health healthcare provision etc are all individual failures nothing to do with any government.
My issue is that "mental health" can be any issue that makes a person suicidal. You have a tough case to make that the collective government is responsible for fixing all those issues.
Instead, focusing on policies that harm (or do not help) those factors you rightly point out sure does seem like a better way of handling it. Otherwise what, you have to choose between housing costs and mental health (when clearly housing costs contributes to mental health??).
Choosing to focus on everything is choosing to focus on nothing.
