At one time in my Area of western Pa we had   May view, Woodville,
Dixmont ,Western center all  state mental health hospital facility.
Since now that medications and therapy , group homes etc are no being
used instead of these institutes
they claim the mentally ill are being better taken care of. That said
the number of homeless on the streets has quadrupled and who are the
homeless the same mentally ill people who where suppose to be helped
by all the new medicines, therapy etc. The same homeless who are
committing crimes. The same mentally ill who go off there medication
and cause problems including going on shooting rampage. etc/ etc.
As bad as they claim it was for some of these mentally ill to be
institutionalized what good has it done them when they go off there
medications and end up homeless or in jail and or terrorizing the
community.
