A comprehensive mental health system would have both out-patient and in-patient treatment, just like with physical health. The problem is we’ve had both extremes - all institutionalization, and all out-patient.
Very true. The place I stayed in for a few days was good though and they had out and in-patient treatment. And they recommended doing in-patient treatment where you would go in for most of the day but could go home after, after I did my locked in in-patient. I was happy with their treatment, but yeah, very much exception to the rule.

Partial Hospitalization isn’t super rare. I wouldn’t call it an exception to the rule. Many chose not to pursue it, but programs are out there.
Ah good to know. I hadn’t seen it before, but that might just be saying more about locations I used to live. Thanks!
Partial Hospitalization exists.
