Quote by Dale Carnegie

One of the most appalling comments on our present way of life is that half of all the beds in our hospitals are reserved for patients with nervous and mental troubles, patients who have collapsed under the crushing burden of accumulated yesterdays and fearful tomorrows.

Summary

This quote suggests that a significant proportion of hospital beds are occupied by individuals suffering from mental health issues, caused by overwhelming stress and anxiety about the past and future.
