As somebody who has been using mental health services for a number of years, I find these song titles to be pretty funny.
That being said, my mother or ex-wife would also likely complain if they saw it. There's a difference between living with a mental illness and living with SOMEONE who has a mental illness. (Note the "ex" in "ex-wife".)
The way I read the article, it sounds like users of the mental health service were the ones that put this together, and not the social workers themselves. I think that makes all the difference in the world.

Why are we no longer allowed to laugh at ourselves and the human condition?

Bull Crap! The problem with our society is that we have lost the ability to laugh at ourselves. We are so totally obsessed with unearned self-esteem and political correctness, that we cannot accept reality.
These mental health care workers need humor as a release from the stress of taking care of those with whom society cannot be be bothered. Actually, these are funny because there is a strong element of truth in them.
I respectfully suggest that you lighten up. You may think that being "outraged" by this makes you a better person, but it really only points out that you are humorless and sad little black hole in society.

They think theyre being made fun of, but theyre really just being paranoid... Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they're not out to get you. :=)

The actual words to Santa Clause is Coming to Town would make any kid paranoid. "He sees you when your sleeping." How creepy is that?

The one about short-term memory loss really put me over the edge!

This wasn’t written by the health-care workers.
It was put together by the patients!

Santa Claus and his reindeer needed some serious overhaul too.
He's fat and people laugh at his belly. That is insulting to the vertically challenged. Pay attention, XL people.
How come Mrs. Claus never gets to take the reindeer out. That is sexist. Feminists, unite
How much do the elves get paid? Nothing? That's slave labor. Do something, little people.
Why doesn't he set up shop somewhere more carbon friendly? Can you imagine how much energy it takes to run that place. Globalists wake up!Yohoo ..Al baby.
And finally, how come good kids don't all get the same gifts? He needs to take some from the rich kids to give to the poor kids. Socialist Senators, some more wealth distribution needed....Santa's Law?

I could almost handle it as a bad good faith attempt until he launched into the falsetto. At that point I had a seizure.

Oh and Grannys, unite. There is nothing funny at all about Grandma getting run over by a reindeer.

Health care workers can get pretty desensitized to what they deal with every day. True story:
My wife is a Therapist and works with developmentally disabled children. She was working with a mildly severe young boy whose real name is "Einstein". One day while working with a new colleague they were treating this boy (the new person had not heard his name), my wife exclaimed:
"Good job.......... Einstein!"
The look on the new person's face was one of utter disdain, as she thought my wife was being sarcastic to the boy.
