Yes, I believe it can. I know someone who has been in hospital for around a year, and I do think it has done her harm. She seemed to be getting better in late summer/early autumn, only to get worse. The environment is awful, the patients only have a small courtyard as open space, they take each other's things, and the only stimulation there is a single television. They do some workshops but I think it would make many folk depressed just to be stuck in there.
