What is the proper German term for madhouse or asylum? I looked it up on google translate, I got irrenhaus and I noticed that irre means mad. I wanted to get the German translation for madhouse for a project I'm working on (I want it to mean the right thing if a German speaker were to see it), also curious on what the politically correct German term would be for a hospital that focuses on mental health bc I realize madhouse is a bit rude.
