[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 183979, member: 1514"] Fran...you are absolutely right on target. I got lost in thought in my post and forgot the second half. Sheesh what medications will do for you! That is what scares me the most. When they closed down so many of state run facilities and just threw people out on the streets it was a travesty. I have an uncle that is living in an institution that I have no idea how the family has managed to keep him in. I really dont know what his diagnosis is either but he has been in this place for as long as I have been alive and I think longer from what I have been told. I believe he has some form of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) but could be wrong. It could be schiz or something. I also had an aunt who lived on the streets of Boston for years after an accident that left her mentally ill. It scares me to think that there is no middle ground. Prisons shouldnt be our mental health system. They are not equipped for it. If we can put a space station in space we can build adequate and safe housing for the mentally ill. [/QUOTE]
