never knew clinically significant mental illness was directly related to the "cult of landlord greed" - where do I learn more about this?

People who cant pay rent end up on the street. They take drugs to salve the pain of being on the street. How would you expect that to end?

Are you asking about the connection between rents, regulatory capture and greed? High rents and being on the streets? Or living on the streets being a bit of a cause of mental issues?

A good summary. I would add, mental health illnesses tend to present themselves in high stress situations. So while not the cause of the illness, being unable to afford reasonable housing while also being unable to find work with reasonable wages can cause illness to present.

"a bit of a cause of mental issues" there we go
