Mental Health and Homelessness

More than 124,000 or one fifth of the 610,000 homeless people across the U.S.A suffer from a severe mental illness, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. They’re gripped by schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or severe depression. All manageable with the right medication and counseling, but debleating if left untreated.
