Dr. Drew Pinsky on Mental Health and California Homelessness
Dr. Drew Pinsky argues that the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles and San Francisco is primarily a mental health and drug addiction issue rather than a housing shortage. He cites the Lanterman-Petris Act of 1967 as a turning point that made it nearly impossible to provide long-term psychiatric care for those unable to care for themselves.
