What have been some of the negative effects of deinstitutionalization? (approx. 60 words)

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Despite the well-meaning intentions of the movement to release the mentally ill from inpatient facilities, this has lead to many negative consequences. Many went from institutions to the streets, with little or no care. The community-based services that were to be available to this population were not there at all, or were insufficient. Many of the mentally ill do not receive that care that they desperately need.
