I believe we have less than 200k psych beds in the US, down from around 600k in the 1950s.
There's a long tale about why this occurred, but I don't think this board will like it lol.

Cut those tens of billions to Ukraine and tone down some defense spending and it’s all there
Even better- get rid of new green deal bullshite. We have already spent 5 TRILLION on that nonsense. An estimated 75 TRILLION by 2050

Natural mental illness or drugged out mental illness? There’s a big difference in the patient.

Can you give us a quick synopsis? I'm interested.

It doesn't get more Big Government than when the state starts locking up citizens under the pretext of mental insanity.

Some court cases like 1966 Lake V Cameron and 1975 O'Connor v Donaldson made long term commitment much more difficult. The modern process really started rolling during the 1960s Civil Rights Era.

Since when do we make posting decisions based on whether or not we think people will like it?
You afraid of a few downvotes attached to your anonymous username?

And... this goes right back to the 45 stated goals for the USA by Communism.

Democrats were the ones who pushed for 'deinstitutionalization.' I remember it well. The right warned of unintended consequences. They happened.

To be fair they use to put the mentally handicap in the asylums back then.

Not really necessary. Once you lock up the crazies, you'd be shocked at how much we'd save in enforcement, prosecution, and incarceration costs.

Yeah...
It's the self-appointed 'small government' people that have turned us from the Land of the Free into the Land of the Incarcerated. I've never understood how people could rationalize that hypocrisy.
You, for example, in fact, love the government. You love the government taking people's liberty away in a very literal sense.
