I wonder if any really see the pattern, much less want to see the pattern:

[quote][c=000000][center][big]Homeless->depression->
mental illness->drug addiction.[/big][/center][/c][/quote]

The problem starts with homeless. Not any other way!

Once it has gotten to addiction we have let gone too far without doing anything. So our whole society is at fault for letting it go too far.

Enough said!

It's a mix of reasons... But i do think you have it back to front

@Convivial nope. Could put a reason for that direction. Yet that would be a political debate and not a society issue.

@DeWayfarer i think homelessness is often the last issue caused by the others

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@Convivial it isn't because the drugs will find the homeless no matter what. They are depressed.

Convivial · 26-30, F

@DeWayfarer the drugs are often why they are homeless

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@Convivial no! The other way around. Believe me I have been homeless many many times. Close to being homeless now.

The drugs will find the depressed who are most often homeless. I could step outside my door right now and ask for a joint and I would get it!

@DeWayfarer I'm sorry to hear that... But i still feel that drugs, and I'm including Addictive behaviours here, whether it's gambling, alcohol or whatever is often a primary cause

@Convivial I have been homeless all across this country! Every time I see drug addiction I see the homeless first.

Not every homeless person is a drug addict. I sure am not nor ever have been!

@DeWayfarer i wish you well and hope you find an answer to your situation

@Convivial yet looking at the homeless problem as you are will not either resolve it nor prevent the problem from beginning.

And that's even more sad. 😞
