[Eli5] Why do mental hospitals have “quiet rooms”?

491 viewsBiologyOther

My question might be outdated or I may be misinformed by watching too many moovies, but why do mental hospitals have “quiet rooms”? It feels more punishing than calming.

Why are quiet rooms punishment?

They are just places that are quiet. Many people struggle with noise and busy environments. Where most don’t rent notice that 5 iris I are talking at the same time, a few struggle to filter out the sound.

It’s called sensory overload.

We could all benefit from quiet rooms.
