The last is a good point.

Basically all I am saying is that the process of becoming an Astartes is brutal and the crushing responsibility of being protectors of Humanity descends at horrifically early age. These things are not contributory to mental health. On the other hand mental health is much overrated and positively counter-survival in the 40k-verse.
