I wonder, it says 95% of those who were or would have been in government psychiatric hospitals were then “living in the community."
However how do we know how many are actually doing well, in a safe and productive environment? I wonder how many are homeless as well.
I have read that about 25% of homeless are severely mentally ill.
If you consider addiction it’s probably higher.

In a recent international study of schizophrenia, 60% of those with this disorder were working for pay or doing significant household labor, 40% were working for pay, and 20% with moderate to severe disability on Global Assessment of Functioning Scale were working for pay.
