The prevalence of current and lifetime mental health disorders among the homeless population was higher than that that observed in the general population .that estimated that 76% of people experiencing homelessness living in high-income countries have mental health disorders.
Also, some readers might interpret the findings to mean that mental problems are the reason people are homeless, he added."That would be an incorrect interpretation because what this study is showing is that people with mental health disorders have a higher risk for becoming homeless. It doesn't mean that it caused their homelessness. What really causes homelessness is a lack of affordable housing," said Hwang.
Hwang also pointed out that people with mental illness who can access support, either through family members or through mental health care, and who also have the income to afford such services do not become homeless.
