Nearly two million non-English speaking military-age men from mostly socialist or communist countries illegally marched across our southern border last year. Why does that not concern you?

LOL, ok.Nearly two million non-English speaking military-age men from mostly socialist or communist countries illegally marched across our southern border last year. Why does that not concern you?
Often some form of trauma is the cause. Why do you think the suicide rate of war veterans is so high. Trauma can also trigger a dormant genetic trait for mental illness sending a person into a spiral.You imagine that you do.
What are the main causes of Mental illness and drug addiction?
I'm not against social programs that are run well and actually benefit the public. I'd much rather spend tax $$$$ on well run social programs that benefit everyone than bailout a 20something dolt that got themselves into $80K of student loan debt.npsp describing the liberal agenda. Thanks! Progressive! And grapedrink is all "yeah!, let's fund these social programs."
What about the fifty something dolts that pursued meaningful careers in public service (like social program) for relatively low wages. Or are you dolt enough to assume that meaningful social programs pay well?I'd much rather spend tax $$$$ on well run social programs that benefit everyone than bailout a 20something dolt that got themselves into $80K of student loan debt.
Let’s see the studies or statistic, my alleged fact lover.Mental illness is largely genetic. Drug addiction often is as well, and does not discriminate by social class.
Anybody remember Thomas Eagleton?Two things that need to be addressed are the stigma that mental illness carries for all parties it effects. Like cancer or diabetes, almost everyone has a friend or family member that is suffering. The issue is no one will talk about it because they are afraid of being judged (I'm guilty of this). The fact the fact we have a thread dedicated to mental health is a big step forward. While I don't comment on it I relate to a lot of what is being written and it's helpful to know that one is not alone in their journey when things get $hitty.
I should clarify. In terms of severe mental illness and especially schizophrenia, that is largely hereditary. They have little chance of functioning independently in society without some medical intervention and assistance. Same is true for some who have various forms of depression. It's a bad roll of the genetic dice and often uncureable because it is hard wired into them.Let’s see the studies or statistic, my alleged fact lover.
Maybe LA, SF, Portland, Seattle, NY are just nice places to live, homeless or not?See above. Homeless pop in Jacksonville is decreasing. Not so in LA, SF, Portland, Seattle, NY…
The clear reality is that progressive policies increase homelessness.
Schizophrenia may be largely hereditary. I don’t know that clinical depression leads to homelessness and you haven’t supported the claim that it does in any way.I should clarify.

Like NPSP mentioned, there are also many who have had some sort of trauma. This cohort is far more likely to respond to help and can come in off the streets with the right assistance and go on to live a normal life. Many addicts can also trace their addiction back to some sort of trauma. It sucks, but at the end of day you can't undo whatever trauma they experienced.
There are both mentally ill and drug addicted people on streets who come from loving and economically stable families who would be willing to take them in or at least support their recovery in some kind of way. The challenge is that you can't force those people off the streets, even when help is available, and in lots of cases it simply does not work.
Seems to be the consensus with schizophrenia and often with other related disorders, which tend to be the mentally ill most present on the streets.Schizophrenia may be largely hereditary
Never said it did, I was making the broader point that many types of mental illness are hereditary. Like addiction, depression can also be situational.don’t know that clinical depression leads to homelessness and you haven’t supported the claim that it does in any way.
There is a huge labour shortage now.Military age and they're fit?
Serve for citizenship?
Interesting fact. 70% of the blacks have been able to over come the obsticals systematic racism puts in their way.It's multi variate. And one of the main variables is poverty. Intergenerational poverty, which contributes to intergenerational trauma. And systemic racism contributes to intergenerational poverty.
