ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Eloise (psychiatric hospital)

Ok, sweetie. So, sometimes some people have problems with their brains and they need extra help to feel better. Eloise was a special place where doctors and nurses would take care of people with these problems in their brain. It was like a big hotel but with doctors and nurses instead of bell boys and maids. In Eloise, the doctors would talk to the patients and give them medicines to help them feel better. Some people needed to stay there for a long time, like a sleepover, but the goal was to always help them feel better and be able to go back home, just like when you go to a sleepover at your friend's house, you eventually come back home. Eloise was open for a long time, but now it's closed and it's a different kind of place. It's important to remember that just like we take care of our bodies when we have a cold, we also need to take care of our minds when we feel upset or sad. And Eloise was a place where people could get that extra help they needed to feel better.
