In the novels A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey these establishments have a great impact on mental illnesses in these communities.

In turn, the novels by Burgess and Kesey both prove that social institutions greatly influence mental illness in society in a negative way.
