Yeah, they were shut down in the 1980s
Reagan signed the legislation into law, after the Carter years. Not a Nixon nor Ford legislation either. (Those 3 cover the 70's.)

Carter had signed a law to fund the mental health centers, but Reagan repealed it a year later

As a mental hospital employee, yes it is time. The patients at the hospital where I work are constantly in and out of psych wards and have nowhere to go for long term care. The demand for mental healthcare at the moment is out the roof. However, it is extremely difficult to find workers who actually give a shite about their job and are patient enough to deal with the craziness for 12 hours every day.

Definitely. Too much mental health issues and not enough help to contain and treat

100%.
We're not talking 'you believe in UFOs and are thus crazy and I shall now put you away forever'
We're talking 'you are a longtime documented schizophrenic with zero social supports and because you refuse to take your meds or you simply can't get them yourself anymore, a history of violence towards yourself and others, and you are in and out of the hospital constantly and are essentially a ticking time bomb, you will now stay in an institution where we can at the very least keep you and others safe'
Yeah, asylums need to come back. And they will - the idea to bring them back isn't some TD musings, I have been seeing and hearing a lot more talk and articles, op-eds etc on this front. Discussions among both left-wing and right-wing groups. Some countries still institutionalize, I believe the nordic ones do.
ol boy who got choked out in NYC would be alive today if we had asylums. It's obviously what he needed. and the Marine would never have felt the need to choke his arse out because that situation would not have needed to happen. The guy would not have been running around terrorizing random people either. win/win for everyone involved if we had asylums.
The big problem is getting the politicians on board. That will take at least a decade while the problem continues to fester.

All of this. And on the referring side, I’ve had to send folks hours away for beds when they’ve had a suicidal attempt.
You make the good point that it’s less about the acute care and more so about the long term care. It becomes a cycle that perpetuates itself because only so much can be done in outpatient care.
An expansion of Intensive Outpatient services or PHP wouldn’t hurt either to help bring clients who are stabilized back into society. Those stay full and can at times not be covered by insurance.
Part of what shut asylums down before was lack of good regulation. You don’t want to create a situation where they end up like nursing homes, full of employees who don’t give a shite because the pay is shite and they just need warm bodies. If you bring them back, it needs to be a better system.

"All ultra-MAGA double MAGAS need to be committed for white supremacy!"
-Joe Biden
The asylums worked when everyone agreed on what "mental issues" looked like. That's not true anymore.
The left would be stuffing these asylums full of parents under charges of "transphobia" if they had it their way.
