The word insane is not used any more but they are called psychiatric hospitals which long ago were called lunatic asylums. People who were in these hospitals were thought to be under the influence of the Devil and so were treated badly. Of course, it isn't so today.

Institutions for the care of the insane used to be called "insane asylums" but in more recent times have been called "mental hospitals" or "psychiatric hospitals."
