What is the difference between a mental ward, psych ward, sanitarium, and an asylum?
I figured it was a range..maybe from bad to worse.. but i never figured that out.
A mental ward and a psych ward are usually found in hospitals and are generally to help heal the mind's of patients suffering from many kinds of mental illnesses. for example severe, suicidal depression to scitzophrenia. a sanitarium is where the patients who are beyond help are placed when they are seen to be a threat to themselves and to those around them it is really for there own protection more than anything else. And an Asylum is where the criminally Insane are placed although there aren't too many asylums up and running any more!!

Wow that must suck. Im not too pleased at the outlook many teens/older people have with food, it really bothers me to see an extremely skinny person..I always accuse anyone that is even remotely skinnier than I am, a bulemic. They irritate me...
🙁 Sorry if I irritate you.
I'm not bad right now, in fact I'm at the weight I'm suppose to be.
