How to tell if you need help for a mental illness

>> 17 February 2009

During a visit to the mental hospital, I asked the Director how you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized. He told me about the "bathtub" method. He said, " We fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket and ask them to empty the bathtub."

(Now, determine what you would do. To see the expected results, click on the comments.)

I personally said, "Oh I get it! A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

'No' said the Director,
'A normal person would pull the drain.
Do you want a bed near the window?'

Do you need help too?
