Regarding your last point above, I am asking myself why that is so. Also, what does it tell us that it is so, which it is.
Could it be that society cares about you having a problem to the extent that your problem creates problems for others? Isn't that kind of resonant of what you pointed out above about being employed? I think that if I am employed, then I am less of a problem to society, or my family, etc. I think that if I have antisocial, or borderline, tendencies, then I am more of an immediate problem to "the system."
If my problem largely makes me a problem to myself, I think that makes my problem of lower priority to anyone except me. Where this seems to me to be particularly cruel is in the fate of very socially avoidant children who just don't trigger the system into intervening to help them.
