nuthouse
Place for unstable
Nuthouse is informal and mildly offensive slang for a psychiatric hospital or mental institution: They'll cart me off to the nuthouse if I keep talking to myself.
Extended to any chaotic or disorderly place: This office is a complete nuthouse.
The term trivializes mental illness but remains common in casual speech.
