In this episode, we will be discussing the commonly believed notion that the deinstitutionalization of mental health facilities led to the rise of mental illnesses within the homeless population and the prison system. We will disprove this myth by offering alternative explanations for the prevalence of mental illness among people who are homeless or incarcerated and view the problem as a socio-economic and political issue rather than an individual one.
