  >>>alcoholism and suicide Neither one of this is what most people think of when it is stated "drug addicted and mentally ill" alcoholism and suicide are strongly correlated with depression, a mental illness for sure but we as a society has largely separated depression off on to a separate category as it is wide (and over) diagnosed condition Similarly alcoholism while a drug is often referred to as alcoholism not drug addiction So in the context of Homelessness in the US mental illness would be referencing things like BiPolar Disorder,schefrania, and other more pronounced and outwardly presenting disorders. Drug Addiction would be Heroin, Crack, etc. All of which present anti-social and often violent manifestations far different than depression
