Also a big factor is the propaganda in the city of Vale. How many times when you were rewatching the show did you here "We are in a time of peace"? 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.
