If it was a drinking game, I'd have a lampshade on my head while trying to dance to the Electric Slide (badly I might add). Even if there is crime and anger like in any other city, for the most part people are pretty happy. Plus just like in Rome, people can forget about their troubles by watching fighters beat the crap out of each other for sport, all the while knowing that the real Hunters are out there protecting them from the scary Grimm.

However in the case of Yang and her father, they live on a relatively small island that has natural defenses because of the sea and most of the Grimm are probably killed already, with maybe a handful of stragglers. Even if they each had an emotional breakdown, one person wouldn't be enough to really attract a lot of Grimm and Taiyang is still a Hunter so he would try and defend what remains of his family even if he was depressed. I'm sure he may have had some help from friends or family, but maybe not actual professional help. It isn't looking much better for Yang as the closest major city was just destroyed so any real help may have evacuated to any of the other kingdoms. At best Yang can hope for help from a local medical doctor or work past it herself. Ooh, good points, wasn't thinking of the Grimm aspect. Though I'm guessing it would take a huge amount of negative emotions to attract a sizable amount of Grimm, as you said two emotionally brokwn people wouldn't be enough to attract their attention. It would have to be something akin to what happened at Amity Colisseum, with thousands trembling in fear and anxiety, and we saw the results of that.

So yes, in that case Yang may very well be on her own, which will make her recovery even harder. And that will not bode well for anyone, especially those who could use some professional help and cannot get it. Hoboy, I can hardly believe the size of the can of worms that was opened in Season 3, and it's bound to get worse long before it gets better. Can't wait for it.
