Bring back the State Mental Health Institutions
   
Let them be places of research - of countless studies being done

Let them be dignified

Let them be no different than any other institutions that deal with medical malady

That's the only way

1. no. don't.
   
it is absolutely NOT the only way. Group homes and independent living are far far better than state mental hospitals.

cali is worried about computer privileges at state institutions.

6. i have to say my cousin group home was horrifying compared to the state
   
hospital my brother was in. not that that wasn;t plenty depressing. i just don;t think we'd fund either properly, so I'm lost on this one.
except I;d like to see more crises support. it seems like helping people through the worst of their struggles could help here. instead of warehousing people

Crazy runs in the family. :mental:

2. what I know about a county mental hospital.
   
Why should they keep somebody in a locked ward 24/7 for two weeks and offer ONE hour a week of ANY kind of therapy? Art therapy. No talking, no group therapy.

That's warehousing.

That's the perfect solution for DUmmies.

4. NO.
   
I have bipolar disorder. I'd rather live in the community, not locked away as some kind of test subject. I have friends and family who love me and want me in society. If I become acutely ill again, I am okay with having to have a short-term stay in a hospital. I am not okay with being a virtual prisoner in a state hospital. The thought of it is one of my biggest fears.

If it's no different from medical malady, would you lock someone with fibromyalgia in a "dignified" facility? Heart disease? Kidney failure?

13. I'd be afraid that we'd be locking the mentally ill up with
   
some caretakers that may be sadistic and mentally ill as well...........

I think it may be best for them to be out and mainstreamed where we can all SEE what is going on with them, instead of locked behind iron gates and closed doors.

Most of the DUmmies are against this idea, but don't they curse at Ronald Reagan for closing mental health institutions?

Why do we need state run sanitariums when privately funded snake pits like Democrat Underground  gets the loonies to voluntarily enter  and even donate to their care?

Why yes.  As a matter of fact, I seem to recall that moonbats, fruits, nuts and flakes seem to dominate most of the "soft sciences": psychology, sociology and the like.  Perhaps that's because they do so poorly when faced with a situation where reality and facts (as may be required in the hard sciences) are dominant.

It does sound like an awful lot of them are deeply concerned about what their new digs would be like if that came to pass, doesn't it?

I'm surprised that Skinner hasn't thought of lacing the water on the 'Island with Thorazine.  :stoner:

That's too mild and would never be noticed among the pharmaceuticals that the DUmmies already take voluntarily.

Yeah, and you gotta be careful of drug interactions, too, as dosed-up as they are, and on as many different things.

If Thorazine doesn't affect 'em any more, we can always bump it up to Hydrazine.  :fuelfire:
