...and the fact people were horribly abused, it became widely published, and public outcry was a big factor in closing the "hospitals" that didn't treat their patients.

People were not "horribly abused" - that was a narrative by fiscal conservatives to slash programs.

Strange how those patients ended up primarily in jails and prisons, and the street, where they received no treatment, and homelessness and mental health issues got much worse.

It wasn't a fictional narrative, it actually happened.

We can agree that the results were worse but you can't pretend that the abuse was made up by Republicans.

The history of women being sent to mental hospitals for being uppity is pretty clear.
