Again, I figure that if Elon Musk is posting this, there is probably no copyright violations. It seems we are much more tolerant of crazy behavior than my parent’s generation was.

One response to “Mental Asylums – Then and Now”

    We don’t HAVE many mental asylums anymore. They got shut down and all things considered, it’s a good thing. They were torture and experimental institutions plain and simple. And if we increase them they will be again.

    I do not believe we should release someone from heinous crimes due to mental instability. Some of which we impose of people with drugs – psychiatric and otherwise. Some from toxic chemicals everywhere. Much from abuses at home which your statistical stuff can’t properly show because the behaviors at rent reported. If they aren’t reported you can’t put numbers to a chart. You could if you visited with psychologists across the country for a few years. You would get anonymous confirmation of the HUGE numbers of abuse in nearly most homes. I was one of those psychologists. Doc of any kind – natural or otherwise. We ALL see it. And that causes all sorts of mental and behavioral derangements in addition to perpetuating the behavior.

    A mental asylum where victims who wind up there have no advocates and where just about anything you can imagine a human doing to another human foes because the keepers are about as sick as the kept. Those are not the answers. But we cannot implement the answers because most humans are the cause of the problem. Tough to look in. Mirror and admit that. Tougher to find help from others just as sick as those seeking help.
