I would just like to point out that The North Wales Hospital was never called Denbigh Mental, and never Denbigh Asylum!

It was just the main hospital in North Wales, many people were mentally ill, and were drawn to suisude. As im from Denbigh it really anoys me that people make it out to be something it not!

Many people were only in the for illnesses such as depression, many patience were latter let out into "care in the community" because there wasn't much wrong with them, they just couldn't look after them self. Now that people have relised illnesses such as Alzheimer's, depression and just old age is normal theres no need to stick everyone into a hospital and give it a nick name like Denbigh Mental!
