Abstract
Mental Illnesses and disorders are at an all time high in American history with little being done to try and aid such an epidemic. Mental Institutions that focus solely on the short term solution need to shift their focus to long term care to prevent issues such as; mental, emotional and financial stresses on the family or individual felt from caring for struggling individuals. To conduct my research, I used library and internet resources to gather primary and secondary sources all focused on mental illness and mental institutions. I used sources by underrepresented scholars concerning different first hand experiences with the mental health care system. After analyzing my research and data, I found better budgeting for more rigorous outpatient resources would provide long term aid in the form of more frequent therapy sessions and more reliable outlets to find working medications.
