I have only ever seen Agoraphobia portrayed by the media, i.e, TV shows and documentaries, of people who live in nice houses and have middle to upper class relatives. I have never seen a documentary covering The Homeless population, as also suffering from Agoraphobia. I wonder how many of these persons dwelling outdoors in tents and under bridges may suffer from Agoraphobia?
I think the government, perhaps the dept of social Services should do a census of our Homeless population and see how many homeless people suffer from extreme Anxiety which also inhibits them from going into the community to seek help for food, clothing, shelter, and assistance in finding a job.
Instead there are many homeless who never even are accounted for and some would actually qualify for additional mental health assistance and benefits if they could reach out and go to see a welfare worker, establish a place of living, other than under a bridge or in a tent, and then be able to collect benefits to empower them to see a doctor and have a case worker who might help them or hire someone to help them live in a dwelling, and also therefore receive assistance in paying for their rent, food, and medical coverage from the welfare department.
But welfare does not currently, in CA, USA, give financial assistance to persons w/o an established place of residence. Some qualify for med-Cal coverage, but most don't unless they have a documented illness, including mental health. I think if we helped some of these people to receive assistance after they commit themselves to a transitional living facility, they would be much better off in America.
I think many homeless really do want our country to help them, but we have given up on this population as if they are just invisible ghosts among the people of the community. By placing the homeless, and gravely disabled in a Long Term Mental Health Facility for Stabilization, and then the 2nd phase , placing them in Long Term Transitional housing after a short stay in a short term group home to assess where their Long Term placement should be, would be better for them.
Then have Long Term case workers also involved once these patients are out of the Stabilization Facility, so they may always be vigilant over these helpless individuals in our Free Country who have fallen off a cliff, or into a societal crack and can never climb back up w/o human clinical interventions of all sorts.
Really Concerned and super frustrated over the powerlessness of this current issue in my country and current state of California,USA.....

"It's only, NOT about what , 'I Think' until I become President of Our Country." Then we'll all have to pay in order to have a much smoother, happier, healthier, safer, and ALL encompasing country that includes fully caring for the poor, disabled, and even The Mentally Ill Homeless. And living under a bridge, or a tent outside out via "FREE WILL" will one day be Totally Unacceptable, and punishable by REASON of INSANITY. Furthermore; otherwise GRAVELY DISABLED persons will be no longer be allowed to roam the streets hungry, and angry, and cold, as this person will have become "The NEW ILLEGAL Alien of America" HOMELESS and GRAVELY DISABLED persons will be cared for and there will be always a placement somewhere awaiting their arrival and welcoming them into THE NEW AMERICA.
And, I am NOT a Kommunist, but a bad speller, oh yes.
