Although many suspect that our high and mighty rule is psycotic, although they haven't done anything about it and it's speculative rumours.

We have an extensive national and personalized treatment programs for those dealing with mental illnesses focusing on developing techniques and personalized methods to help the mentally ill cope if they for whatever reason cannot access their medication or avoid the use of medication all together. We try to help all our citizens live up to their potential and fulfill their duties.

We hardly have any psychiatrists or psychologists in our nation, a very basic health care program and no social security or disability system.

If people can not take care of themselves they are dependent on family or charity unless they are of some use in our military or have suffered a disability during their military service. In that case the state supports them somewhat.

Depends on the illness. Those who may be treated are treated, while those who cannot be treated are put to death. They waste valuable resources. Those with genetic afflictions may not breed as well.

Being an extreme PMT nation, we have cures or treatments for most mental illnesses. Those with untreatable conditions, such as mental retardation, are put of their misery. They're usually aborted though, if it can be caught during the first stages of pregnancy.

An easier way is to go Genetics and weed out the genes that produce these types of children in the first place. Ergo you wont have to kill your retard babies.

IN Heltonia, we have such programs to make sure embryos are screened for illnesses before a child is born, but its rather costly so the poor cant afford it.

We have made some breakthroughs with genetics, and it's not uncommon for babies to be "customized" in the womb. They're not perfect yet, but they probably have prevented the mentally ill from spreading to a large amount of babies. However, like most nuisances, it sometimes pokes it's ugly little head out to bother us. We'll figure it out soon, though.

The purpose of leaving adolescent Uramkorpers in the wild is to ensure survival of the fittest through weeding out both mental and physical failures. It's also a cheap form of population control.
If they survive, then obviously they weren't that mentally ill. If they fail and die, then they were unworthy of life. Either way, there are officially no mentally ill Uramkorpers.
Unofficially, opinions vary.

As part of the Breheimian eugenics programme, most severely mentally ill are sterilized, as well as being provided free psychiatric treatment and aid for life at one of our excellent asylums if applicable. Some conditions, such as Downs Syndroms, is screened and aborted by hospitals.

We actually have a very good mental health program. Seeing a psychologist here is as common as seeing a physician, so most problems are caught before they get out of hand.

People with a severe mental illness may be institutionalized, and if that illness is genetic, they will be sterilized. If a mentally ill person commits a crime, their illness may be considered for their rehabilitation, but not for their trial. In general, we try to treat our mentally ill with compassion and reason.

The mentally ill are viewed with deep hatred by the Koy people, as such the mentally ill are imprisoned in "Mental correction facilities" which are essentially just labour camps for the mentally ill. Where medical experimentation is performed to try and "cure" the illness. Eventually they are shot when they're too weak to work. Those mental illnesses that can be found during pregnancy will result in a forced abortion and the steralisation of the parents.

It depends on the illness, but almost all of them are restored to proper functionality at the local Debugging Center.

The definition of an "illness" is likely different here than elsewhere. Here, we look at the actual scripting driving anomalous thoughts or actions. If the code is functioning properly (no endless loops, missing variable caps, faulty equations, or anything like that), it will not be deemed to be a glitch even if the resulting actions/thoughts are very different from those of most Decepticons. If there is an error - in the computer science sense - then it is considered to be a bug and the patient will be strongly advised to accept a patch.

Most repairs are voluntary, but if someone has a glitch that makes them either dangerous or unlikely to be able to survive, repairs are usually mandatory. Patches that are made for the purpose of fixing glitches are funded by the Raid Tax and has no out-of-pocket cost regardless of complexity. The same goes for mind-board hardware and peripherals that replace failed components.

Decepticons are routinely checked for glitches every three months. Even though our code base is very stable, the fact is that when people live for hundreds of years, glitches eventually happen. The regular checkups help to ensure that errors are caught before they can become deeply rooted into a person's mind-code.

We also have a penchant for upgrading ourselves, and while this is usually good, it sometimes leads to inexpert attempts alter our own code. Regular Debugging checkups find errors caused by bad self-patching. To help discourage people from monkeying with their own Code when they don't know what they're doing, Debugging also offers expertly-produced "optional" patches. The cost of these patches depends on the complexity involved. Prices range from 100 Cubes to over 50,000.

Code Intended to be Sapient - that is, the base code of a new Decepticon before it is sapient (which forms the foundation of the personality that will later form) - is to be thoroughly checked for errors before activation. Most miscoding can be fixed, but if the Coder has managed to screw it up so bad that this isn't possible or wouldn't be worth the hours of effort it would take to fix it, it will be deleted. Since this Code is totally unaware at the time of this check (it is read and analyzed without ever being run), there are no ethical issues against its deletion. Coders who fail to properly write this Base Code the first time will be ordered to install Advanced Educational Data Packs on the Creation of Code Intended to be Sapient before trying again.

The irreparably glitched - Less than 1 in 10,000 who have mental glitches are irreparable. The few that are, are humanely euthanized when possible. In most of these cases, massive and irreparable data corruption has resulted from the corrosion of the mind-chips or from direct damage to the personality chip.

We treat them like people, they have all the same rights as anyone else.

Recently there's been more awareness and emphasis being placed on mental health as research continues to be conduced and we begin to understand mental health more and more. One of the largest issues in Arkiasis today is depression and suicide. We now have a large network of mental healthcare that includes coping, treatment, support, and assistance for all permanent and temporary mental illnesses. Various methods included psychotherapy, medication, therapy, and counseling.

After all, one of the principles of my nation is "Stay Relevant and Contribute to the Economy".

Some "mentally ill" people proved to be extremely creative and are provided the money to continue to aid the nation.

Extreme cases of mentally illness which to the extent can no longer contribute to the nation, the judgement will be based on its previous achievements and contributions to the nation. Three results will arrive ...
1) If that person has contributed much, worked hard etc, the person will be admitted to the Mental Hospital and all the fees will be reduced by half. (50 percent discount)
2) If that person has contributed minorly, the person will be admitted to the Mental Hospital and all the fees will be fully paid by that person.
3) If that person has been useless to the nation and never contributed at all, the person will be sent to any nations willing to accept them.
