diagnosable mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder with moderate, severe, or
extreme functional behavior in specific areas of lifestyle. These mental health
disorders afflicting persons who are 18 years of age or older present emotional or

d. Community mental health centers for outpatient care were established.
ANS: B
Deinstitutionalization is the release of institutionalized people, especially
mental health patients, from an institution for placement and care in the
community and was initiated in 1965. From 1955 to the mid-1980s, the number
of patients in state facilities fell from 560,000 to 155,000 because patients
moved back out into the communities. The Community Mental Health Centers
Act of 1964 provided federal support for mental health services. The act
supported measures to implement facilities to care for those who were mentally
retarded and to construct community mental health centers. The creation of state
mental hospitals and the discovery of electroconvulsive therapy occurred before
1965.

Brain imaging scans, also called neuroimaging scans, are being used more and
more to help detect and diagnose a number of medical disorders and illnesses.
Currently, the main use of brain scans for mental disorders is in research studies
to learn more about the disorders. These researchers study healthy brain
development, effects of mental illnesses, or effects of mental health treatments
on the brain. Brain neuroimaging helps researchers study healthy brain
development, effects of mental illnesses, or effects of mental health treatments
on the brain.

Male veterans in communities are twice as likely to die by suicide as their
civilian counterparts. There is nothing to support that these veterans will have
guns in their homes. The veterans will be able to use the Veteran Affairs system
for medical care and there may be challenges with their return home, but that
should not be as upsetting as the risk for suicide for their loved one.
