I worked as a Nurse on a closed unit of a Mental health Hospital in New York--Bellevue, along with others.

I visited my mom when she had to be put in (dx=Paranoid Schizophrenic) many times in the 60's and 70's-----they have not changed.

Everyone likes to say that they are better than they were-- they are not.
People who are violent are put in with people who are simply depressed, or overwhelmed with life.

It's an atrocity--It is still just as it was described in the book/movie:

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"

I am sooo sorry (((Jessy Day!!)))--(((Splitimage)))---they have to make big changes
in those places- well, at least it's not like the "asylums" of yesteryear-----theo
