    The public system for mental health treatment functions more as a crisis management system that aims to solve problems over the long term. For example, a man in crisis is brought back to a hospital by the Mobile Crisis Intervention Team (MCIT), only days after he had been discharged from two weeks of hospital treatment. The Mental Health Act policy prohibits psychiatric facilities from holding people against their will unless a strict set of requirements are met. Having this in the Mental Health Act, hospitals become a revolving door for mental health treatment: they respond and help, but often do not effectively treat patients for long-term improvement. In 1963 the More of the Mind policy deinstitutionalization process began in Canada, which came from the Canadian Mental Health Association’s.

There was also a sharp decline in treatment taking place within institutions such as hospitals wherever possible with the alternative of care in the community becoming the norm and ideal. “With the support of the National Association of Mental Health (NAMH), the 1959 Act also abolished the mental health definition “moral imbecile” which had previously been assigned to mothers of children born out of wedlock, particularly those who had born children with multiple partners.” (Neville, K. 2014) Though ‘The Mental Health Act 1959’ was a major piece of legislation which changed legal policy regarding those suffering with poor mental health and began reducing the oppressive language and attitude of previous policies, it lacked the needed exactitude which resulted in the ‘Mental Health Act 1983’ which provided clarity on issues such as whether detention in hospital due to mental health issues granted the treatment provider 's authority to impose treatment such as medication and electroshock therapy.
