Description
The burden of mental disease is each year becoming heavier. State hospitals for mental disease throughout the country are overcrowded, and the construction of new hospitals does not keep pace with the increase of patients. Fairly complete censuses show that the number of patients with mental disease under treatment in institutions increased from 74, 028 in 1890 to 232, 680 in 1920. The rate per 100, 000 of population increased from 118. 2 to 220. 1. Careful estimates based on statistics of the New York State Hospital Commission indicate that approximately 1 out of 25 persons becomes insane at some period of life.
