Any evidence for that?

Or do you think that feeling you are being kind is more important that actual good outcomes?

Yeah, there's heaps of evidence for that.

It drops the death by suicide and depression, which by itself is sufficient. But it also is strongly related to resolving other mental health issues.

There's dozens of papers on this now. here's a few:

Certainly not. Better physical and psychological health outcomes should determine the treatment.
