Recorded sources
8 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Homeless people have higher rates of mental illness?

Yes. A systematic review and meta-analysis reports a large excess of schizophrenia and major depression among homeless people compared with the general population, and a descriptive epidemiology review states homeless people have increased prevalence of mental disorders. Other studies of narrower populations also report elevated mental health burden among homeless groups.
