Around here, the street people are quite likely to be what my mother used to call “mental” because we have nowhere near enough mental health and meds available to really pretty much anybody (even good insurance doesn’t pay for enough treatment). It’s not exactly common to see a person much like the one depicted who is in the throes of a full blown episode, but it’s common enough so I’m no longer surprised… just saddened.
