The mentally insane

What drives a person insane? I mean to a point where they are no longer conscious of their own thoughts or actions?

What is being done to help these people? Here in Jamaica where i live it seems as if the mentally insane is left abandoned, the only refuge seems to be the streets and they are forced to live like animals.

Yes they are sometimes fed, by religious or non-profit organizations, but they are not being housed or being treated for their illness. They walk around the streets as a social disgrace, sometimes naked, and dirty.

There should be some type of counsiling or rehablitation centre as well as institution to help the mentally insane in Jamaica, our society lacks support for them and therefore embarasses our country in the eyes of our visitors.
