"mental facilities" meaning
Hello, sirs,
Seemingly the term "Mental Facilities" can mean two things.
1. =mental institution: as in "abuses and practices in public mental facilities"
2. = cognitive abilities: as in " impaired in terms of mental facilities if the left temporal lobe of the brain is damaged"
Am I correct?

Mental Facilities are definitely places where mental health is treated.
Mental faculties are those cognitive abilities you speak of. This is the power or skill of your brain.

I would rather use mental faculties when referring to mental features or inherent strengths or weaknesses of the mind and leave the word facilities to describe a place that may treat people who have mental problems. Randy
