Here’s the thing...how many mentally ill people are there in this country? Millions, I’m guessing, perhaps as many as 1 in 5, or 1 in 4 according to some articles:

I really think that we need to bring back mental institutions.

Many of these are minor illnesses and don’t cause aberrant behavior. But many are serious and some of these belong in mental institutions for their own good and certainly for the public good. But the psychiatrist associations stand four square against so-called warehousing these people. I think the need is urgent.
