Homelessness and mental disorders.

Although the pathologies that homeless people may suffer from are the same as those suffered by the general
population, there are some that stand out for their prevalence: schizophrenia, severe affective disorders
(bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder), substance abuse, severe personality disorders and post-
traumatic stress.

In general terms, the older and chronic population presents psychotic disorders and alcohol abuse, while in
the younger population there is a prevalence of substance abuse disorders, schizophrenia and an increase in
severe personality disorders.

Treatment

As for treatment, it requires pharmacological action, as well as the presence of free psychological support.

unemployment

Homeless unemployment in Mexico City is a complex problem that requires a comprehensive

response. Here are some potential solutions that can help address this issue:
Job Training Programs: One of the main barriers to employment for the homeless is a lack of skills and work
experience. Job training programs can help these individuals gain skills needed for the job, such as office
skills, construction skills, or customer service skills. These programs may be provided by nonprofit
organizations, local governments, or businesses.

Social Services Employment: Homeless individuals may have valuable experience working in social services,
such as a social worker, caseworker, or homeless shelter worker. These jobs can provide a sense of purpose and
self-esteem, as well as a source of income.

Temporary Employment Programs: Temporary employment programs can provide homeless individuals
with a way to earn income while they search for long-term work. These programs may include jobs in
urban cleanup, construction, and other city maintenance jobs.

Community Support Networks: Homeless people often face social and emotional barriers that can make it
difficult to find a job. Community support networks can help these individuals connect with others in
similar situations and provide emotional support and job search resources.

(Tris) Poverty

Poverty in Mexico is a complex and multifaceted problem that requires long-term solutions in various areas,
such as education, health, employment and social security. Some possible solutions include:

1. Increase in the minimum wage: a higher minimum wage can help reduce poverty and improve the
purchasing power of workers.
2. Improvement of education: quality education is essential to improve employment opportunities and reduce
the gap of economic inequality in the country.
3. Investment in infrastructure: Investment in infrastructure, such as roads, bridges and energy, can create
jobs and improve the local economy.
4. Access to basic services: it is essential to guarantee access to basic services such as water, sanitation,
medical care and housing services to improve the living conditions of the population.
5. Promotion of entrepreneurship and the development of small businesses: the creation of jobs and the
promotion of entrepreneurship can contribute to the reduction of poverty and economic development.
6. Strengthening of social programs: social programs such as Oportunidades and PROSPERA can help
provide financial assistance and support to the most vulnerable population.
7. Corruption reduction: Corruption is a major obstacle to economic and social development in Mexico. The
implementation of policies and programs to reduce corruption can help improve the efficiency of
resources and increase trust in government institutions.

It is important to note that these solutions require a joint effort by the government, civil society, the private
sector, and the international community to achieve a real and sustainable impact on poverty reduction in Mexico.
