I drew on my experience of being hospitalized/stuck in a halfway house because I am suicidal and I asked her, "Did they have any kind of exercise equipment?" "No, and I gained 25 pounds while I was there. We had a ping pong table, but they took it away when a girl used a paddle as a weapon; we had a foosball table, but that got destroyed. After that, we had nothing." Since exercise has proven health benefits for mentally ill, I continue to wonder why rehab/psych hospitals/halfway hospitals lack any outlet for exercise. How are they teaching people how to live a healthier lifestyle if exercise isn't included? Today I talked to a high school girl who just got out of 8 months of rehab for a drug addiction.
