Succinctly? [Under/un]treated mental illness due to the maladaptive coping skills needed to survive as a poor American. Poor people make sacrifices to live another day. Whether it's (healthy) food, exercise, healthcare (who can afford insulin or an epipen these days?), or their time. Some people pay the doctors to go to them, others pay for people to do the tediousstuff like cooking or cleaning or laundry or fighting the bank over a $40 overdraft fee that ate that weeks food budget.
