    The US went from over-treatment to no treatment. Neither has a net positive outcome.

      Deinstitutionalization has nothing to do with the lack of funding for mental health programs today. Two separate issues.

        Actually, funding has a very large part to do with moving away from institutions. You’ll find money is behind most big decisions in this country. Not that I’m defending the hell that is institutions

          That’s true. My point is that closing institutions and funding the alternatives are separate mechanisms. It should have been done all at once but Reagan didn’t see it that way
