	Psychiatric hospital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A psychiatric hospital (also called a mental hospital, mental ward, asylum, and occasionally insane asylum, funny farm) is a hospital specialising in the treatment of persons with mental illness.
		In the United States, psychiatric hospitals in the past were often set up as separate institutions with funding and administrations separate from those of general health care.
		One other type of psychiatric hospital is designed for long-term care: a combination hospital and prison for the "criminally insane": typically, people with a psychotic illness or personality disorder who have committed serious crimes.

	Psychiatry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inpatients are confined to a hospital where they receive their psychiatric care (voluntarily in the majority of cases, but sometimes involuntarily in severe or dangerous cases).
		Psychiatric illnesses were for some time characterised as disorders of function of the mind rather than the brain, although the distinction is not always obvious.
		An example is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), which the psychiatric profession considered a barbarous practice during the 1970s and 1980s, only to be revived recently as a treatment for clinical depression.

	THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 15, Ch. 194, Psychiatric Emergencies
		Psychiatric emergencies may require a general medical evaluation before a treatment decision can be made, hospitalization or other institutional support, psychotherapeutic intervention, or minimal or more comprehensive pharmacologic intervention.
		A patient with a psychiatric disorder who is a danger to himself or to others or who is so disabled that he cannot protect himself requires hospitalization.
		Patients who neglect themselves as a result of a psychiatric disorder and those who are psychotic but nonviolent are usually hospitalized when their condition is likely to deteriorate without psychiatric intervention and when appropriate alternatives are not available.

	Psychiatric Medications
		When psychiatric drugs produce symptom relief, they work the same way illicit drugs and alcohol do: They “take the edge off.” When you are taking prescription psychotropic drugs like Ritalin, Paxil, or Xanax, or you are using illicit psychotropic drugs or alcohol, your emotional experience is dampened.
		In the history of psychiatric drugs, all are ultimately found to be either (a) highly addictive, as evidenced by withdrawal; (b) highly ineffective, compared to a proper placebo; (c) highly dangerous, in terms of short-term or long-term adverse effects; (d) all of the above.
		Calling psychiatric drugs medicine while at the same time labeling illicit drugs and alcohol as poisons is a triumph of sorts.
