During the 1800s, which answer correctly identifies the place where people with mental illnesses often end up being forced to live at?

Answer: Deinstitutionalization. I think

Explanation:

I don't have an explanation. I got the answer from my teacher

Deinstitutionalization is a government policy that moved mental health patients out of state-run "insane asylums" into federally funded community mental health centers. It began in the 1960s as a way to improve the treatment of the mentally ill while also cutting government budgets.

In 1955, the number peaked at 559,000 patients or 0.3% of the population. 1 If the same percentage of the population were institutionalized today, that would be 1,109,148 mentally ill people. 2 That's more than the population of Austin or San Jose.

Effects

Between 1955 and 1994, roughly 487,000 mentally ill patients were discharged from state hospitals. That lowered the number to only 72,000 patients. 3 States closed most of their hospitals. That permanently reduced the availability of long-term, in-patient care facilities. By 2010, there were 43,000 psychiatric beds available. 4 This equated to about 14 beds per 100,000 people.

As a result, 3.5 million of the severely mentally ill do not receive any psychiatric treatment at all. 5 About 200,000 of those who suffer from schizophrenia, depression, or bipolar disorder are homeless. That's one-third of the total homeless population. 6 7 Ten percent are veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder or other war-related injuries. 8

More than 350,000 are in jails and prisons. 9 Sixteen percent of all inmates are severely mentally ill. There are almost ten times as many severely mentally ill people in jails and prisons than in hospitals.
