Patch Adams was confined in a mental institution after a suicide attempt, which he later described as a response to the pressures and expectations placed upon him. His time in the institution allowed him to reflect on his life and ultimately inspired his unconventional approach to medicine, emphasizing humor and compassion in patient care. This experience significantly shaped his philosophy and practice as a physician, leading him to advocate for the importance of emotional well-being in healthcare.
