The high mortality rate is the same for people with psychiatric disabilities who do not live in residential facilities. Increased incidence of cardiovascular disease is the primary cause.

"Cardiovascular disease risk factors were generally similar for patients with schizophrenia and patients with bipolar disorder . . . Both groups of patients had a higher prevalence of overweight, obesity, central obesity, and hypertension than the general population . . . and daily smoking was significantly more frequent in the two patient groups than in the general population."

its kinda like the lab from resident evil

"People with severe psychiatric disorders have a significantly higher mortality rate than people who don't."
All the infection that comes from living in relatively close quarters doesn't help, either.

WOW it was amazing

do yall think that the inmates could of faked sick to go to the medical building. So they didn't have to stay in the Mental hospital

I remember going to Smolak Farm picking apples and the inmates would also be there picking apples

sad too

Im from sunderland and live 3miles away from this place. Im amazed at how far you go to get your amazing pics and how do you find out about them? You need an award or something because they astound me, you have a gift.

If you produce a book, count on me to buy it! keep us informed its excellent.

These are terrifying i dont know how you dare go by yourself! Id expect a nutta or monster to jump out at me, its like a horror set, you are crazy motts no pun intended, i love it!

This is the best site ive ever been on, im amazed at your pics motts there fantastic. It seems so exciting to do something like that. All the history surrounding the places you visit is great. Keep it up because i love it all but dont get caught!

I can only assume that they were given a general ceremony or prayer and buried in a simple casket; the ones at this hospital seemed pretty nice - http://www.opacity.us/...418_bed_of_straw.htm

This wheelchair seems pretty modern from the last few, from my research i have gathered i have to say that this is more likely to be a 60's maybe early 70's wheelchair.. has this place been disturbed by others that has visited the place, or has this wheelchair been placed there to confuse minds.. I produce some facts.. placed in a door way.. flooring moved from around the wheelchair, door is not pushing against the wheelchair as the front of the wheelchair is not touching the frame of the door.has this been placed there, been brought to the hospital from the outside, and is not in any way related to the hospital? maybe this hospital was used as storage from another local hospital.. other pictures suggest such randomness of chairs being all over the place. modern tube lighting? i leave you to make your own mind up. Thanks

I think I see the Millennium Falcon down there.

you know, i live not even a couple of miles from here in waldorf. when i heard it was being demolished, i was pretty devastated because i have been up here so many times. i even drove up there to find out myself at 3 in the morning. im glad i have left my mark and taken my own pictures. this place holds alot of memories for me and a tone of the kids in 301 waldorf.

life in laurel branch.
