Mathew B. Dymond, MD, CM;
Ontario Minister of Health
The feelings of ignorance,super-
etition•and 'fear peopl ave long
associated in their minds with
mental` hospitals and patients, are.
% gradually •dissipating as More per-
gone
ersons come .torealize' that mental:
illness should have .• no, • more'
-Worn attached' to , it than other.
forms of sickness.•
Many years ago;:. conditions .in.
a, mental •hospital could only con.
•
tribute to. those 'feelings: The
build'ings'. tended, to look dark,
cheerless, cold and .uninviting.
Patients'. were • locked in their
•
rooms'for their• safety.. They were
often ,greatly disturbed. and .' fear-.
ful, and thcustodial atmosphere
, of . the :hospital , did". not ;always
.help this. Now, however, Ontario
Hospitals are brighter, more cheer-,
ful. `Walls are painted in soft
colours, the furniture is comfort-
able,' and curtains andplants.
decorate. the -wards. New arrivals
come quietly, and often on 'a vol-
untary basis. Many 'are co,opera:
tive and actually pleased to find
the, help they need.
In days long gone by, there
was much use of :mechanical re-
straints, , and an. ' atmosphere of
fear and watchfulness pervaded.
Violence and assaultive behaviour
were not unusual, and both • pa -
demi and staff lived in a state of
constant' apprehension. Today,the
mental hospital and the patients
there Tan scarcely be distinguish.
od from any other hospital and
its patients. The open door policy
is :'common: throughout -most; of
the hospitals. Treatment includes •
drugs and tranquillizers; --group
and individual therapy, as well as
recreational, occupational and in-
dustrial activities.
' No longer is. a. patient' `put
away" forever to be forgottenby
embarrassed relatives:, Withmen-
tal ''hospitals nowbeing built .in•
smaller communities many pa- . .
•tients can more easily be visited`. "•'
by their, -families. 'Hundreds• of
volunteers participate in; a .host
of activities including dances; glee.
clubs.,'drama groups, picnics, bus
tours, etc., all geared' , to' ,bring
:the communilty right. into. the
hospital.
Through the efforts• 'of the On-
tario..Department of „health. which
operates the more than twenty'
mental hospitals in this province, -
the outlook has changed. The bes
pital is a place of treatment -thea'
patient a. sick person in need of
expert care... He receives 'active
treatment for as long as he needs, .'.
it -it may be a few weeks or a
;few months, and .then every effort
is made to rehabilitate him .into.
the community. With improved
communication`s, ipublic attitudes
and understandingof mental i11-
mess,have changed for the 'better, '
as conditions , have" changed •for..
the better;ih the mental hospitals.
Asnew concepts of care and treat
ment are developed,'• it is hoped •
that public sympathy and under.
standing will continue to develop•
