Homeless people with mental disorders and neuropsychiatric diseases are ubiquitous, in space and time, in mankind’s history. Psychosis, personality disorders, drug abuse, and other brain illnesses represent a true challenge to medicine and society. Homeless people could be, indeed, brought to the attention of marontology, an unborn specialty of medicine, already suggested after the Greek word marontos, which means unwanted. Homelessness is one of the most critically important issues of the contemporaneous world, without a solution in sight, so more research in areas such as psychiatry, psychology, and human neuroscience is needed, for a better understanding of the phenomenon.
