[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't use the term Mental Institution anymore. It's called a psychiatric hospital.[/quote]

Please don't police other people's speech. OP can use whatever terminology she wants. You knew what she meant. [/quote]

They aren’t the same thing though. An institution is generally for long term stays, whereas a hospital is for an acute issue and is short term - most insurance will only cover 2 weeks in a psychiatric hospital. An institution is more likely to be for a very long term treatment plan, usually more than a month, sometimes a year or more.

Most kids are admitted on the recommendation of their doctors, and after being evaluated by the emergency admissions staff. An institution has a much more arduous admissions process because of how expensive they are and because of how few beds there are available. If you want to watch a documentary that is informative “A Dangerous Son” is good. [/quote]

Every now and then, a calm, rational individual pops up here on DCUM. Wish we had more like this in these threads. [/quote]
