The Reality of Individuals living in Poverty with Mental Health issues

According to the World Health Organization, individuals who are suffering from a mental illness are degraded and treated poorly by society due to a lack of empathy and understanding. This is seen through the lack of opportunities provided for these people in the workforce or in school. The reason why I wanted to draw attention to this topic and propose a possible solution is because I understand that matters of societal treatment only get worse when someone is living in impoverishment in addition to dealing with a mental illness.
