Mental Health Facilities for Adolescents
A research paper
submitted as a partial requirement for ISTC 201 Using Information
Effectively in Education.
ABSTRACT
More mental health
facilities need to be made for adolescents. Adolescents experience the
same mental disorders adults do, but there is not the same amount of
places for children to go to for help. The history of mental health
facilities in the United States today has been improving, and more
changes are being made as we speak today by President Bush. The process
of being admitted to a ward is also a long process that is the same for
children and adults. It involves the emergency room at the hospital and
even long hours of waiting for a bed to open while stuck in the crisis
unit. Some diseases children encounter include alcohol use, drug use,
emotional disorders, eating disorders, serious antisocial behaviors,
suicide, and depression. Inpatient care has the most amount of benefits
and is the best way to help these adolescents so more facilities need to
be built.
