hospitals for the insane

Hospitals for the insane, now called psychiatric hospitals or mental health facilities, are specialized medical centers that provide treatment for individuals with mental health conditions such as depression, schizophrenia, or severe anxiety. They offer a safe environment where patients receive therapy, medication, and support to manage their conditions. These hospitals focus on stabilizing symptoms, enhancing functioning, and helping patients integrate back into the community. Modern facilities prioritize dignity, respect, and personalized care, emphasizing recovery and overall well-being rather than mere containment, reflecting advances in mental health understanding and treatment approaches.
