It would be a wonderful world if lunacy was, once recognized, channeled into something useful. I'm not versed in the psychological sciences, but it certainly seems like it would help. I guess if a bunch of useless toffs didn't misuse what money gets thrown that way, more people would get help. Then there are the gullible. Better education, teaching critical skills, would help. More money could be put there. But there's always something that cheats it out; politics being a big offender. Where I live, every time the politicians want a bigger revenue stream, they threaten to fire teachers, police and fire personnel. As soon as that starts, the population votes the increases.
