Mental illness should be treated in the same way as physical illness.

In the UK you get free mental healthcare (but not necessarily counselling, depending on what your area has). It's also included in most healthcare packages from employers.
I've used the NHS for mental healthcare. I got free counselling sessions (although I made a small donation to cover them as well), and of course my medication is paid for (free in Scotland and Wales, subsidised in England, not sure about Northern Ireland). There are also free exercise programmes for some problems like Post Natal Depression since it is known to have some beneficial effect.

I think we need to spend more on mental health but I doubt it would have changed this tragedy

Unless the person voluntarily goes to a mental health clinic, what use would they be?
