Mental Health on Mars
Where is the Elon Musk/SpaceX module for mental health on Mars ? He's making a self sustaining community on Mars, so you need a sustainable mental health module that actually provides effective support for the distressed and traumatised such as Trieste/Soteria does. Elon Musk has said "how treacherous life on Mars will be". There will be many challenges. It may be the case that a tight knit community on Mars may be better prepared to deal with any serious trauma or distress because of the closer community connections. Of course this is exactly what the Trieste/Soteria practice of mental health shows. It may also be the case that many of the problems that create serious trauma on Earth such as corruption, abuse, discrimination and political causes may not get exported to Mars.
Nick Kanas, MD (Psychaitrist) has consulted for SpaceX. His book Humans in Space, The Psychological Hurdles contains references to psychoactive medications and the usual biopsychiatry. It's the drug model of psychiatry that has caused so much trouble on Earth. So why export it to Mars ? There is evidence for the massive problems created by psych drugs (Whittaker, et al) and conversely there is hardcore evidence and multiple successful non-drug projects across many countries (as is shown on Liberation Map). If that is not understood then you'd just end up creating the same problem on Mars in a more difficult environment that would threaten the evolution of the Mars colony. The scifi film Outland comes to mind here. On a more positive note look at the photo's on this page of 520-day Russian project Mars 5000. Will Mars mean a more integrated and closer family like environment which the Trieste model shows as being the most healthy ? Would a Mars colony leave behind most of the peculiar types of corruption and social bigotry that creates distressed and traumatised peoplel ? HI-SEAS is another project where these questions could be answered and their existing findings may confirm correlations with the Trieste/Soteria models ... "Located on the rocky slopes of the Mauna Loa volcano on Hawai‘i Island, the Hawai‘i Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HI-SEAS) is an analog habitat for human spaceflight to Mars and the Moon."
