===== Definition ===== 

Asylum segregation within mental health institutions refers to the practice of isolating individuals with mental health conditions from the general population within those institutions. This segregation can involve placing patients in separate wards, units, or rooms, often for reasons of safety, treatment, or behavioral management. Historically, mental health asylums or psychiatric hospitals have been known for isolating patients from society, sometimes for extended periods, in the belief that seclusion would promote healing or prevent harm to themselves or others. However, this practice has been widely criticized for its potential to exacerbate feelings of isolation, stigmatization, and institutionalization, and for its failure to provide adequate therapeutic interventions or support for recovery. In contemporary mental health care, there is a growing emphasis on community-based and person-centered approaches that prioritize inclusion, autonomy, and holistic support for individuals with mental health conditions.
