Laws and conventions of society tell us that such people are in those institutions to keep them from harming themselves or others.
An insane amount...
That depends... Mental hospitals are for insane or people with mental disorders, and the fact that you have tried to kill yourself does not necessarily mean you're insane. But you might want to talk with a psychologist or someone else.
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.
A straightjacket.

everyone is probably scared of being around crazy people so i think its not a real phobiaEdit. The answer above is wrong. Agateophobia is the fear of insanity, insane people, mental hospitals, psychiatrists or going insane. It is a real phobia.
Bedlam, which was actually a corruption of the Biblical Bethlehem, this is or was located in England. Kings County in Brooklyn, Bellevue in Manhattan- one notes very smooth- golf course sounding names to the Funny Houses- Woodbridge, Willowbrook, for example, Bellevue I stated earlier. The state hospitals for the Criminally Insane, they are the real abodes of the lost souls. Guards routinely carry firearms and doctors are authorized, though not required to pack weapons. As you can guess from the name- criminally Insane people are all convicted of crimes- but have pleaded Insanity. Nice people to stay away from. The ACLU correctly calls the Criminally Insane hospitals ( Prison Mental hospitals) which is what they are.
Dorthea Dix was the driving force behind the creation of hospitals for the mentally ill. In these mental institutions they patients were given treatment and care that they were not afforded before.
An insane asylum and a mental institution are not exactly the same, although they both refer to facilities for individuals with mental health issues. Historically, "insane asylum" is an outdated term that typically refers to institutions primarily focused on the long-term confinement of individuals deemed criminally insane or severely mentally ill. In contrast, modern mental institutions or psychiatric hospitals emphasize treatment, rehabilitation, and support for mental health disorders, often incorporating therapeutic practices and outpatient care. The terminology has evolved over time to reflect a more compassionate and understanding approach to mental health.
No, concentration camps was where the Germans put the Jewish people and killed them, but mental hospitals are where people with mental illness go that can't live in normal society. Comparing them is an insult to all Jewish people and everyone who loved in the camps.
