do we fit in the "mentally ill" category?..yet we are clean, we work, we take care of ourselves, pay taxes and don't poop in the staircase, at least I hope not....
people make CHOICES and they make BAD CHOICES.....
we can't just make the diagnosis of "mental illness"....
a truly mentally ill person wouldn't last one day living on the streets...
Wtf are you talking about? Nobody mentioned being overweight as a mental illness...You apparently are in the lower quartile of the population in reading comprehension. Make a good choice today, Stay off the sauce or stay off the keyboard.
“a truly mentally ill person wouldn’t last one day living on the streets...”
Wow. You’ve apparently never been to any major metropolis in the United States.
Homeless people include BOTH types— people who make bad choices (drugs, etc) and people who are really, truly, I promise you, seriously & frighteningly mentally ill.
Plus, there’s the factor of long-term drug abuse which CAUSES mental deterioration.
