Homelessness and mental health : ウィキペディア英語版 | Homelessness and mental health In a study in Western societies, homeless people have a higher prevalence of mental illness when compared to the general population. They also are more likely to be alcoholics and suffer from drug dependency. It is estimated that 20-25% of homeless people, compared with 6% of the non-homeless, have severe mental illness. Others estimate that up to one-third of the homeless suffer from mental illness. Studies have found that there is a correlation between homelessness and incarceration. Those with mental illness or substance abuse problems were found to be incarcerated at a higher frequency than the general population. Fischer and Breakey have identified the ''chronically mentally ill'' as one of the four main subtypes of homeless persons; the others being the ''street people'', ''chronic alcoholics'', and the ''situationally distressed''. The first documented case of a psychiatrist addressing the issue of homelessness and mental health was in 1906 by Karl Wilmanns. ==Historical context==
