OK. So you're mental as ____ and you're thrown into a mental hospital where no one can recognize you yet you aren't even conscious enough to get help. And you're confused and in pain!
So... what are these doctors here for?! I don't know!

So like what are witch doctors, healers, for?
If someone is "Crazy," wouldn't it benefit that person more if a person diagnosed him who has gone through 'craziness' and also has come out the other side? To a side of light and understanding?
Instead of someone who diagnoses from the outside, from observing. You can only know so much from this! As far as I know, a mental person must find his or her own way alone, because life is so much different than most doctor

The mental hospitals that helped me regain a healthier perspective had a creative arts program, a fitness program, cognitive therapy. We had long field trips and went on lake shore walks every day. It helped to ease the psychosis from drug abuse and sexual abuse trauma
