I agree Phillipa - I think deinstitutionalisation has gone too far, partly driven by cost cutting - there need to be short term beds avaliable for people with severe depression or acute psychosis, to look after them in the time it takes drugs to start working, and i think there is a subgroup of psychotic patients who need long term residential care.
I'm glad the days of One Flew Over the Cuckoos nest are gone, but they needed to be replaced with somthing, not nothing
