A mental institution, also known as a psychiatric hospital, is a facility designed to provide care and treatment for individuals with mental health disorders. These institutions offer a range of services, including therapy, medication management, and support for daily living. The goal is to help patients stabilize their conditions and improve their quality of life. Mental institutions can vary in size and structure, from small community-based centers to large hospitals. They often employ a team of professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, and social workers, to ensure comprehensive care. Treatment may involve individual therapy, group therapy, and recreational activities to promote recovery and social skills.
