At one time, this country locked up people with mental illness and kept them in the institution- sometimes for life. It was a horribly abused system and the patients were often abused. Then laws started to change, institutions were closed and we went to community oriented mental health services. Well, that system is totally underfunded and the pendulum has swung to far to the extreme of not committing people who really need to be. We really need to revisit the laws regarding institutionalization.
