You're absolutely right and it's nice to see correct medical nomenclature here on Lemmy. Unlike some places where someone would say he's wacko and belongs in the crazy hospital.

Where does "looney bin" fall on this scale?

[–] DontTreadOnBigfoot@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

"Looney bin" is for the zany crazies and sits above the crazy hospital in the hierarchy.

At the bottom is the "nuthouse", which is reserved for the sickos.
