Mental Illness is not just the most cruel of all social ills but it's a major cause of all other social ills. Mental illness is responsible for 18% of all crimes and 10% to 25% of all inmates in prison are seriously mentally ill. About 1/3 of all the homeless are seriously mentally. And Poverty and mental illness are closely related. In fact, improving the mental health of the country makes everything better.
Blaming mental illness for violent crime is like blaming your nerve endings for the pain you experience when someone punches you.
Just about anyone who walks into a building and kills a dozen people at random is sufferings from mental illness. Studies have shown that over half the mass murder suffer from some type of mental illness and 20% are serious mentally deranged, that is they suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and are often totally disconnected from reality. The only reason they are not involved in more crimes is due to their lack of ability to function.
Deinstitutionalization began over 60 years ago. As a result, 3.5 million people considered severely mentally ill do not receive any psychiatric treatment at all. Today over half the states in the country have less than 3 state mental hospital and almost everyone of them is completely full. Community Health Centers were suppose take the place of institutions. This worked fairly well for those with less serious mental health problems but it has been a dismal failure for those that are seriously mentally ill. Most of these people either end up in prison or homeless and often both. In all state penitentiaries, there are inmates who don't know why they are there. Some don't remember their name and many have lost the ability to communicate.
That explanation is a smokescreen intended to mask the national frustration of the American population caused by industrial-political corruption. Catch-all terms such as mental illness, undesirable, and social misfit are part of the manipulation of the American population.
I don't know about that but I do know there is little to no help in this country for the most seriously mentally ill. My best friend who was seriously Bipolar committed suicide 5 years ago. He stayed at our home for a few weeks but his highs and lows were so extreme it wasn't safe having him around the kids. Getting long term care for 30 days are longer was impossible.
My neighbor's 19 year old grandson who was diagnosed with Schizophrenia about 4 years ago has been in dozens of ERs and mental facilities in which he was committed by court order from 3 days to two weeks, sent home with prescriptions that his voices told him not take. His parents spent everything they had on him and he is now on Medicaid and on the streets. He has been arrested at least 3 times and was always released. Most of the time he's non-communitive with hallucinations and is dilutional. It's only a question before he hurts himself or others.

Where are you located?
The nonprofit healing ministry in Florida has been effective in successfully treating or curing some cases of schizophrenia. At the very least, the voices become less out of control where the person restores more ability "not to let them in."
I recommend people get this type of spiritual help with deliverance and healing prayer to remove the triggering root issues and to stop the rebellion and refusal to get help or comply with those trying to help.
I have friends,including Atheist, who DID the healing prayer and broke out of their destructive defeatist patterns. While those who didn't get this help are still stuck repeating the same.

HEALING by Francis MacNutt mentions how cases were healed of schizophrenia and also suicidal depression refusing help.
These issues of the spirit can be healed by removing obstructions and restoring the original mindset and natural health.
www.healingisyours.com Dr. Phillip Goldfedder is another one, who used to help people calling by phone.
If you call around and find a healing deliverance group near you, please let mw know. I wish we had a directory of places to refer people to call who are stuck with family members denying they have these issues and blaming everyone else!
