psychiatric hospital?I have been thinking about what i wanted to go to college for and the more i thought about it i started to wonder if i would want to work with "mental" patiants. I live in michigan and i know there is a psychiatric hospital called Kalamazoo psychiatric hospital in kalmazoo that IS running that i was thinkin about visiting to get a look at what i might be doing if i choose to do so. I have read a bit about its establishment but i am curious to see how many patatents are there if and how many died there, what type of patients they have, with what disorders, what ages, what kinds of treatments they do. I have all theese questions and i cant seem to find an answer. can any one give me helpful information about this or any other hospital of this type. SERIOUS people. I dont want to here dont do it or your nuts if that was the answer i was looking for i wouldnt have posted this.

Look up the on-line DSM (Diagnostic Manual) It list all of the mental disorders and gives the symptoms / treatments, it is really very interesting reading, it would help you get a feel for the people that are being treated...that would give you a place to start.
Psychiatric Hospitals treat people with the most severe forms of some of the disorders you will read about, they assist the patients in getting back on their medications and stabilizing their behaviors so that they can get back out in the community and live.
Hope this helps.
