That logic breaks down, even if there may be some truth in it. Psychiatrists ultimately are the ones who prescribe psych meds. The doctors who prescribe psych meds are just as inaccessible to the masses as those that provide talk therapy. In fact talk therapy is probably more accessible as there are affordable, albeit out of pocket, online services.
As with most social issues it may be easy to describe the problem, yea extremely difficult to solve it.
That said while there is no one off easy fix if we accept the basic principle of mental health some fixes as first steps become obvious. For starters providing affordable mental health to people is a great start. In the USA even with good insurance you often will have to resort to paying out of pocket to get therapy at all. For many it isnt even an option.

Dutch women are absolutely breath taking. I have never seen an unattractive dutch woman. That probably makes it a lot easier being cool about sex and nudity :) But yes they have a very casual and practical view of sex and bodies. Its not like other countries that stigmatize it and judge. But I'd say that is still under the umbrella of mental health. You cant have mental health and judge people for what they do behind closed doors with another consenting adult.
@theprivacyfoundation I would expect many parents to know little about the subject, so it might be a good idea to run some sort of parent-oriented education campaign.
There is no one factor really. Id say if we are to reduce it to the most prominent cause it would be mental health. Mental health is not stigmatized, the dutch are understanding and try not to have knee jerk reactions. They raise eachother to be mentally healthy and encourage the mental health of others. Thats all it really takes.
