It's like any other hospital except they specialize in mental illness which is just as bad as any physical illness, right?

Mental illness is a medical illness but you should not refer to a mental hospital as a 'nut' house. This is insulting to those with a mental illness and their families. If you had ever spent time working in a mental hospital as physicians do you would not ask such a question. These people require tender and compassionate care and a supportive atmosphere to get well. Society already stigmatizes mental illness so please be kind and do not add to public misconceptions.
