You could cite the increased attention given to the mentally ill, but you'd be wrong. Since the late 1960s, this country has been on a de-institutionalizing path with respect to the mentally ill. There may be more resources and treatments available, but it's a lot harder to get people to accept treatment if they don't want it.
