Not in rural and remote are in hospital hospital and mental asylum peoples with mental illness tied up with chains. It is because they can hurt themself and others. Depression, sleeplessness, tension are common mental problems. The best solution of it is good social life. We must be spare some time for our family and society.

It true that mentally ill are chained for the safety of themselves and others. But in many cases lack of awareness in the people is the main reason. Additionally unfounded ,baseless beliefs and superstitions prevailing in the society are also the reasons.

it's good to support some people who is not mentally strong like us. They should be treated very kindly and lovably

 yes this type of practice is in fashion in rural area. Some time relative and family members also chained mental ill because they have not money for treatment.

The line between normal and abnormal is very thin, We normally associate certain behaviors with mental abnormality probably going by what is shown in films .But the most dangerous trait like Schizophrenia can be found even in very normal looking people, it comes out only when their stress levels are tested to the highest levels ..

Now this trend is showing up in urban areas too I have seen how old parents are being ill treated either by their sons or by the daughters in laws and driving them almost to the stage of madness. These old parents silently suffering the torture.
