My point is that this approach causes harm. It's like treating heavy bleeding by applying a tourniquet and sending the patient out the door. It's medically unsafe, unsustainable patient care. This is not simply a question of budgets, it is a question of how society views mental health. This kind of treatment indicates an "us and them" mentality where mental patients are viewed as second-class citizens. Your wording, "extreme problems" also hints at such a dichtomy, although I'm sure you didn't do it on purpose. There are other ways to say this: Basket cases, crazy, insane, psycho, major issues, etc. A neutral term would be "very ill" or something like that.
My examples of attempted suicide by overdose or "self-influcted gunshot wounds" definitely qualify as "extreme problems", so it is clear that there is a different way to do this.
I am aware that your comment probably just meant to say that the system is set up in an unfortunate way, and that you probably don't represent the views I describe here. But from my perspective it appears to be much worse than just an underfunded system.
