"Going to Mandeville" meant something a whole lot different when I was growing up than it does now.
Yeah when I was a kid, I heard people from New Orleans call Mandeville " The nuthouse". I didn't know what it meant.

I say we need to start involuntarily committing more people. Sorry for hurting feelings but it makes the rest of us safer.

Did they go away?
For the most part. The state currently only operates 2 (I think).

Looked like a horror movie asylum.
I think it was "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest" that started the trend. Then moms started demanding their kids with earmuffs (stunning amount in 3/4/5th grade in a rich arse district in Houston) be mainstreamed, even though now every classroom needed a handler to stop the kids from hitting themselves and interrupting everyone.
Kinda how the movie China Syndrome killed nuclear plants in the US. A movie. Anyone that's flown out of Harrisburg knows that there are still multiple reactors in operation at 3 Mile Island, but Georgia Power, it will take you decades to get a permit, essentially because of a movie.

Around BR it was Going to Jackson
In 1980’s and 90’s it was Bayou Oaks in the Bayou area until was absorbed into Terrebonne General and then eventually closed. It was located in the old hospital that was vacated when the new building was built in the 1980’s. Eventually Terrebonne General expanded back into that old building, but without psychiatric services.
The other spot the could send you was to the 3rd Floor of St. Anne or the 5th floor of Chabert.
I think a lot of hospitals got out of the psychiatric game when Medicaid started cutting reimbursements and it became too costly to care for those patients.

We would be better off. We live in a society in which mental illness is normalized and in some cases celebrated and encouraged and look how far society has declined.

yes

Well past time. These folks terrorizing our streets and shitting on the sidewalk should have been locked up long ago.

Looks very Shutter Island lol. Probably not where you want to see your transport van pull up.

It's the only socialized medicine we should have.

Geraldo's Willowbrook story was also a catalyst.

You mean Central? My uncle was a physiologist there. Crazy stories!

Asylums? Yes. And orphanages for people who fail at raising their kids.

We never got rid of them….they’re just called prisons nowadays.

Yes, outpatient treatment is woefully inadequate and even cruel for those with deeply seeded illness
Some people need to be expelled from society.. is what it is
State hospital beds in Texas treat those on criminal code commitments - good luck securing a civil commitment

Think for a minute about who gets to decide if someone should be committed.
I'd clean up Louisiana in a year or two.
