Set in Los Angeles, the film tracks wrenching individual stories of mentally-ill patients caught on an endless merry-go-round of ineffective care, exposing the anatomy of a broken healthcare mill. What was once a system built around long-term asylum care has essentially be e a crude horror show for thousands who are detained, medicated, and tossed onto the streets with no means of recovery. There, petty crime and drug addiction land many in prison, where they are detained and medicated again, creating a tragic loop. As one psychiatrist points out, this government-sanctioned loop is the actual definition of insanity. Add to that the fact that few psychiatrists are even willing to treat those most severely afflicted, and you’ve got an all-out crisis that’s also a major source of homelessness and incarceration. With a mixture of pained intimacy and sweeping historical context, Bedlam shows how deep-seated shame, stigma, and decades-long political negligence have led to the single largest social catastrophe of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. 《精神病醫院》是首部探討嚴重精神病患者護理危機的大型紀錄片。這部電影以洛杉磯為背景，講述了精神病患者被無休止的無效護理的旋轉木馬纏住的痛苦故事，揭露了一個破碎的醫療工廠的解剖結構。 曾經建立在長期庇護護理基礎上的系統，對于被拘留、服藥、被扔到街上無法康復的數千人來說，已經基本上變成了一個粗暴的恐怖秀。在那里，輕微犯罪和吸毒成癮使許多人落入監獄，在那里他們再次被關押和服藥，造成了一個悲慘的循環。正如一位精神病學家指出的，這個政府認可的循環是精神錯亂的真正定義。除此之外，幾乎沒有精神病醫生愿意治療那些受折磨最嚴重的人，而且你有一場全面的危機，這也是無家可歸和監禁的主要原因。詳情
