Importance

Describe why this topic is important.

The number of mental disorder patients is increasing every day. With at present one out of four having this issue at some time of their life. The fact that many mental illness patients are homeless and live on the streets and at shelters. The number of mental patients in the low income bracket is extremely high. Many of them are given medication and then sent out on the streets with no additional support or chance foe recovery. Medication alone will not be enough for their recovery.

What specifically motivated you to ask this question? (For example, you are developing a clinical guideline, working with a policy with large uncertainty about the appropriate approach, costly intervention, new research you have read, items in the media you may have seen, a clinical practice dilemma you know of, etc.)
