A simple anecdote of how poor the #mentalhealth system is in the #usa -
The worst hospital I've stayed - which was in #losangeles - helps nobody.
A list of groups was pinned to a board that they were supposed to have, but never did.
The only thing to do all day was three terrible meals, a TV in the dining room, an old book, or walking up and down the hallway.
It was a place to stop someone from hurting themselves, or someone else and that was it.
By definition the same as #jail.
