First of all, I'm going to bet this man is an addict. Gabapentin is not a normal medication for anti seizure. It's routinely prescribed for animals and has the drug de jour, because it's not in the same class as others.

Second, this man is bipolar, which is both evident from the cocktail that he is prescribed (Gab + Lam) and the mention of manic-depression and then later the admission (assuming these are all vignettes from the same man). He should not be on Adderall at all.

Whoever/whatever is treating this man by prescribing him drugs, isn't helping. They are trying to give him things that will keep him from complaining to others.

Someone asks if you're alright living out of your car and your response is "I'm ok", when you're not but too drugged up to care. Even if he wasn't he has stopped asking (or never really has asked) to look for opportunities to get himself out, beyond looking for a free shower.

I hate these pieces showing the entrenchment of people into homelessness by the systems that are supposed to lift them out, while highlighting the indignant resignation to stay in the situation as a survival response. "I have every right to be here." - and that's a big part of the problem.

What? Gabapentin is absolutely used for anti-seizure purposes:
