I found out from befriending a formerally homeless person that being homeless for several years can have far reaching negative psychological effects. This particular person has a lot of problems with anger and won't get professional help for his problem. This makes it difficult and frustrating to be his friend. I don't know if this person will ever be able to get rid of his excess anger.
