The 15 Best Movies Set in Psych Wards According to MovieWeb

"The world's understanding of just how devastating it can be to live with mental health struggles has come a long way. Unfortunately, it took a long time to make these gains, amid negative stereotypes fueling archaic beliefs that often saw people who were struggling with their mental health treated like outcasts. Hollywood didn't help this, by perpetuating damaging clichés. However, movies can also have positive impacts on such issues too, by drawing attention to them, and shedding light on the deeper issues at play. Over the years there's been a wide range of movies that played on common tropes associated with psych wards that have made ideal settings for many fantastic films. Perhaps what draws us to these films is our inherent fascination with their macabre reputation, or the parts of the characters' struggles we recognize within the darkest parts of our own minds. Movies that delve into such issues make for a captivating watch." - movieweb.com
