I used to frequent this board more, at times when things were going pretty poorly. I'm now in grad. school and (as many who have psychological problems tend to do) studying mental health, and am back to where I received lots of information and support, though now for a different reason. I've been studying about the future of mental health, and wondering specifically about the future of asylums...obviously, our mental health policy is not working (jails are the largest "inpatient" facilities, the many with mental disorders who live on the street). Where is the best place for individuals who have chronic and debilitating mental disorders? Do asylums have a place in America?
I'm curious as to what the psychobabble community thinks....Blessings to everyone on the journey,
Juniper
