There's an interesting rabbit hole in regards to the shut down of mental hospitals. It was greatly influenced by the (((Rosenhan))) Experiment (Imagine Paul Joseph Watsons' shock). The experiment claimed to send otherwise healthy people into mental hospitals reporting mild symptoms. Then they were apparently all diagnosed with severe schizophrenia or other sever mental illnesses and subjected to all sorts of nasty treatment. However.....
For one, Cahalan claimed that Rosenhan himself, when undercover in an institution as part of his own experiment, told doctors there that his symptoms were quite severe, which would explain why he was so quickly diagnosed. This is significant because it runs counter to Rosenhan’s report, which claimed that he told doctors of some relatively light symptoms, which is precisely what made those doctors’ diagnoses seem like such an overreaction.
Furthermore, when Cahalan was finally able to track down one of the pseudopatients, he summed up his experience inside an institution with one word — “positive” — a stark rebuttal of the horror shows that Rosenhan’s participants had supposedly endured. But Rosenhan allegedly ignored this data when drafting his report.

So, basically, all the mental hospitals were shut down because of a lying jew. Preventing ill people from getting the treatment they needed.
