Care in psychiatric hospitals

Unfortunately, a policy that needs to be addressed is that psychiatric stays for seriously

mentally ill patients are limited. Mental illness is overgrowing within the United States (U.S.) as

it does not discriminate against anyone with the need to help is at an all-time high. There is no
