> Psychiatric services are just one more Health benefit. Right. AFAIK Yale has those, and is where the gal went. And they made the decision "this is too serious for us" and sent her to Yale-New Haven, which has a real psych ward. I am sure Yale has counseling/Health Services for non-clinical depression/etc., but I don't think people appreciate the environment you need for patients with active, dangerous psychiatric illnesses (harmful thoughts/etc.) who are actively going through med changes, that may actually worsen their condition before the right balance is found. No way Yale, or any college, is going to have those facilities. They sent her to specialists, which was the right thing to do. Keeping her at Yale under the care of people who are not trained/equipped to help her, would have been worse. E.g. Yale probably has nurses/doctors to apply bandages, prescribe basic meds, etc., but would you get cancer treatment there? They can't provide everything. > What are you trying to communicate with here? I was admittedly being sarcastic and trying to point out the guy was, IMO, bragging about his Yale degree, and talking about the "brand" he paid for, when it really didn't change my point that you don't pay any college, Ivy League or otherwise, expecting that they'll also help you through your serious psychiatric illness while you're there.
