No, this isn’t a joke. New York City actually has a “Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.”
Its website is here:

Did we just step back into the 1930s? What the fuck is “Mental Hygiene” and why is this term being used today, in 2013? Why is this an actual DEPARTMENT IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, supposedly one of the most progressive cities in the nation?
Be very afraid.
