用法

The use of mental in compounds such as mental hospital and mental patient is first recorded at the end of the 19th century and was the normal accepted term in the first half of the 20th century. It is now, however, regarded as old-fashioned, sometimes even offensive, and has been largely replaced by the term psychiatric in both general and official use
