A member asked:

Why do psychiatrists want to lock people up in their hospitals?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: I'm a psychiatrist. I, like my colleagues, don't want to lock people up in hospitals... Communities pay for the staff and build hospitals to maintain mental health in their communities. The communities, don't want the behaviors outside of a locked unit. Frankly, i don't think patients in the locked units want their behaviors either and feel happier leaving it all behind before being discharge.
