institutionalize

Read a random definition: Blonder–Tongue doctrine

A quick definition of institutionalize:

Term: INSTITUTIONALIZE

Definition: When someone is put into a special place to live, like a hospital or a home, we say they have been institutionalized. It can also mean when a rule or way of doing things becomes official and accepted by a group of people.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To place a person in an institution or to give official sanction to a rule or practice.

Examples:

  • After her mental breakdown, the family decided to institutionalize her in a psychiatric hospital.
  • The government decided to institutionalize a new policy to reduce carbon emissions.

These examples illustrate the two different meanings of the term "institutionalize." In the first example, the term refers to placing a person in an institution, specifically a psychiatric hospital. This is often done when a person is unable to care for themselves or poses a danger to themselves or others. In the second example, the term refers to giving official sanction to a new policy. This means that the policy is now recognized and supported by the government, and will be enforced as a rule or practice.

I wouldn't say trauma, the trauma would probably come from seeing my friends head get crushed by an LTV and feeling the bag of glass that was his skull in my hands. Or knowing a kid I mentored shot himself with a bullet he used to keep around his neck that I allowed him to have illegally.
