The test case you point out sounds promising, although might be tough to reproduce for more people on a larger scale..Doctors will need to start prescribing social environments instead of medicine alone. This looks like its gonna be a tough one as the trends point towards more seclusion. Will computer mediated services help in bringing people back to health in some of these cases?
