I had a friend who used to work at a foster home, said all the kids were on Seroquel. That made me sad. I have a hard time believing that they all had schizo or bipolar. I totally get what you're saying here. Just because someone's poor, comes from a broken home/family life, doesn't mean they have a mental illness. If anything it's the other way around...mental illness can lead to poverty, can lead to parents beating their kids, etc.
