The common name for a psychiatric hospital in Spanish is manicomio. The name that Rac1 said, hospital psiquiátrico, is the "technical" ands "official" name, but the people that don't work in medicine call them manicomios.

Welcome to SpanishDict.

First, it would be called "psychiatric hospital", not mental hospital.

hospital psiquiátrico
