Seen anyone walking down the street, bent over seemingly talking to no one, or an imaginary someone, or something? Maybe they are drunk, or on drugs, or maybe a mental illness that they have no control over. “It is estimated that up to 20% of the homeless population may have schizophrenia.” Symptoms may include hallucinations, and delusions, often causing a disconnection from reality.
A large percentage of the homeless are also afflicted with bipolar disorder, a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings, such as intense highs and intense lows. Whatever the cause, homeless people can be both scary and sad as their behavior can range from harmless to extreme violent. In either case, these people need help, and should never, ever be left alone, without food, shelter, and no one to care for them. There is no excuse for the richest country in the world to have no compassion, or leftover love for the helpless homeless. Our hearts should cry out for these people. I see daily commercials asking for help for homeless, neglected cats and dogs, but nothing for the homeless, and neglected people in our neighborhoods and streets. What is wrong with our society?
Mr. President, fix this problem NOW.
