have caused him to have a low self-esteem and his personal hygiene
is likely to be poor. Michael would not have any money coming in to
help him pay his bills while he is in the hospital and because he is
likely living alone and has quit his job, he may have poor financial

others to handle his
illness. whether through medication or therapy. Furthermore.
Michael's mental disease is caused by chemical imbalance in the
brain, which may nave been triggered of a variety or actors.
