Its been a way for people to go for a long time and will not stop anytime soon. We need more mental health facilities...

Mental Health facilities are a bit of the joke tbh. Low staffed and/or sadistic staff, doctors are constantly leaving. Little to no real care offered. A lot of the beds are filled with homeless who are just given drugs and no real treatment. Mental Health is extremely difficult/a joke unless your top of the middle class and have a support system

Warehousing IS the mental health treatment in this state. The absolute extent on it.

It's incredibly difficult. Since there aren't any blanket solutions to mental health issues, each patient requires a lot of individual attention which needs a lot of labor hours. Realistically for best results every patient would need their own specialist who focuses on just the one person until they get to a point where they're no longer at risk. But even a specialist per 6 patients is very expensive and just not enough people in the industry to hire from. Just so incredibly demanding

No way. We closed them all because they were cruel. Cant go back on that now.
