Good point, I wonder if perhaps people still had mental health issues but got treat for a different condition as it wasn't such a common issue then?
In the 1970s, people with mental health problems were often referred to as “the mentally sick” and sent to asylums for treatment, with strong stigma and fear around mental illness. Today, public understanding and policy support are much more developed, and mental health services have evolved and improved substantially.

I remember you saying you did some stuff with your bro and you got on really well with him.
I would take this opportunity that has come your way.
Yes, I know you're further away from your kid daughter, BUT, she's going away anyway for a year or so and you can stay in touch over the interwebby wherever you both are in the world.
Your bro has offered you digs, you get on really well with him and I'm sure that whatever job you do, you can find a similar position in your new area.
IDK your physical ailments (I seem to remember talking about this elsewhere), but you should explore the possibility of PIP and maybe other benefits such as ESA because that will help you get on your feet.
Don't do what a friend of mine did for years...they suffered for 10 years because they thought they didn't deserve help and that other people were more deserving than they were. Eventually we (friends and family) persuaded them that they were just as deserving and they applied and got the help they desperately needed.
And remember, PIP is not means-tested.
Good luck and go for it, I don't think you'll regret it.
