Why is there no theology of mental health? Are our theologians asleep?

I cringe when I hear friends say that mental illness is not real and that it's just an excuse to avoid responsibility.
 
 
 
Yet there appears to be no Canadian College or University offering any easily accessible course opportunities for Christians to reflect upon their own experience with mental health issues.
 
There are scarcely any efforts being made, in this country, to articulate or develop a theology of mental health. Why is this?
