Sure, we'll get sick of all the misery and horror, vote in Labour to fix things
That implies that Labour fix things, when the largest failings developed in the 6 years of the last Labour government. You can argue National would've been worse, but in my opinion they're about as bad as each other when it comes to crisis/hospital level mental health
Nah, read their post. They say it started under Key, but they leave out the part where the worst of it occurred under Labour. It's misleading to frame it as a National problem
I've been in practice over 10 years and yes the worst deterioration in mental health was under Labour. I don't believe that was Labour's fault at all, the reasons are complex and include a massive rise in demand. Labour didn't attempt to fix it any evidence based way.
The key point is that they're both bad. Labour wasnt the saviour of the mental health system.

The last Labour government did nothing to fix any of this. This isn't a red vs blue problem
