Did someone other than you mention "drugging them and warehousing" them?

What else do they do in cases of true mental illness?
They can certainly find the right cocktail of drugs to make someone
seem somewhat normal but that cocktail need to be constantly monitored
and adjusted. Then you have the problem that the patient simply stops
taking the drugs.

The flip side of that are the people with addiction problems. We
really have not come up with any long term plan to deal with those
people. You can dry them out and release them but most are back
abusing something pretty quickly.

True mental illness? Interesting choice of words. Drugs, therapy,
compassion, assistance can help many of those with "true mental illness"
lead better lives. And many people with addiction problems can
be helped out of their addictions and back to normal lives.

You're too quick to discard your fellow human beings who are suffering.

I guess I have just seen too many system failures.

Your wife must just assume anyone who leaves her care is "cured".

I doubt it.
