Should mental health care clinics make a comeback?

1. SHOULD MENTAL
HEALTH CLINICS
MAKE A
COMEBACK?
THE IMPACT OF PSYCHIATRIC
ASYLUMS IN OUR COMMUNITY

2. 40% of mentally ill people have been convicted of crime.

3. Adam Halls family could not afford proper care for his mental illness,
because of this, incident after incident led him to prison.

4. For many people suffering with mental illness, prison is just a
default for them because they have nowhere else to take them in.

5. Diseases such as schizophrenia and anxiety are much more prevalent
in those who are struggling with poverty (51% compared to 28%).

6. Physiatrist Asylums have been looked down upon ever since the 18th
Century.

7. Rehab centers dedicated to mental health are almost impossible to
find. If there are any around, they are expensive and inconvenient.

9. IF GOING TO A MENTAL HEALTH CARE UNIT
WAS AS EASY AS BEING PUT IN JAIL THEN
OUR CRIME RATE MIGHT BE MUCH LOWER.
WE SHOULD BRING BACK MENTAL HEALTH
CARE FACILITIES OR PSYCHIATRIC
ASYLUMS. THEY WOULD BE NOTHING LIKE
ONES FROM THE 18TH CENTURY. THEY
WOULD BE A SANCTUARY AND SAFE PLACE
FOR THOSE WHO NEED HELP. THERE ARE
NO FACILITIES THAT PROPERLY TREAT
MENTAL ILLNESS FOR LOWER INCOME
FAMILIES. THESE NEW FACILITIES WOULD
BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO ANYONE.
