O/T why are there so many mad people about?

.....the numbers are escalating.

Just walk through our town centre and see. Go any day of the week and i guarantee you will either see: someone with mental health issues pinned to the ground by the Police or another person walking through the streets shouting at the top of his voice to no-one in particular.

I can't help think there is a political explanation for the rising numbers of mad people.
