[quote=Anonymous]The peak in the U.S. mental hospital population was in 1955, with over 550,000 residents. The US population at that time was about 166 million people. By 1970, the resident population in state psychiatric hospitals was around 370,000, and this number declined to about 40,000 by 2014. It is hard to find exact numbers but this is from CA: At its peak in the 1950s, California’s state hospital system operated approximately 37,000 beds. By June 2024, that number had dropped to just 5,724 — a decline of 85%. Meanwhile, California’s population has more than doubled, from under 16 million in 1960 to nearly 39 million today. Had the number of state hospital beds kept pace with population growth, California would have around 90,000 beds today — nearly 16 times more than currently exist.[/quote]
