The process of hospitalization and the environment of a typical psychiatric hospital is often counter-therapeutic.

In cases of people suffering from depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), these emotional, cognitive, and perceptual changes have been shown to have sometimes profound and long- lasting therapeutic effects, …
