Mental illness can be caused by a number of things really. It can be caused by a physical problem like brain damage, or it can be caused by something not working properly inside, like chemical/hormonal imbalance. I think the real question is why isn't there more help for people like this?

@frontvisions101 You seem to be an angry person. You ask me why I don't help them; in response I ask how do you know that I'm not? And I don't know what you think I'm faking, oh no someone trying to be understanding and nonjudgmental! What a travesty!! @oligel I didn't really completely understand what you're asking me. Do I believe in what?

Why don't you help them? You seem to know a lot and you're concerned for them. You're the perfect person to help them. Or maybe you're just faking it? :)

chemical/hormonal imbalance is one of the reason why they are crazy. how about over study? do you believe in that? yes, as frontvisions101 says, you are the perfect person to help them. do you know more why some people crazy?

If you isolate yourself for too long, you'll also go crazy as with this man you're talking about. These hobos live most of their lives alone. I don't know for sure why they don't do anything with their lives but their lifestyle entitles them to go crazy.

Have you ever thought that maybe the reason why they "don't do anything with their lives" is because they can't?? Most people become homeless in their teens to early adulthood and if they can't shower or have a phone number where people can contact them, do you really think they are going to be able to find a job as easily as other people? And so if they have to steal or do some other crime so that they can get money to eat and they go to jail, now they have a record, which is just another thing that hurts their chances in employment. Lastly, have you ever considered that perhaps the person acquired a mental illness before they became homeless?

Oh, so you think in order to get a job you have to have a phone.. You have to get out more. Or maybe you already know, you're just ignorant.

A phone isn't necessarily required for a job or anything, but it does make it a great deal easier. The main means of communication of employers to potential employees is by phone. In addition, many employers may view the lack of a phone as an indicator that the person is lazy or irresponsible; many jobs won't hire a person if they don't own a car. A very common question on applications is "Do you have reliable transportation?". On a side note, I find it very amusing that you called me ignorant.

I don't think they are crazy. They are just victims of a society that judges others by certain standards. People like this, the poor ones, have nothing. They can't get jobs. It's a hard life.

Hi oligel! It's a sad side of life isn't it but one we have to accept as there is night and there is day. As there are others who managed to climb the ladders of success there are also those who fall between their rungs. This should remind us to be always grateful and to be compassionate to others as well.
