I have worked in the mental health field for 22 years and I loved the work. My heart was in it because I have empathy and feel these people suffer more then most. Physical pain is tough but mental pain is beyond the pall. I just felt a need to try and bring some stability and yes, love into their lives. If I could bring a little joy and caring then I was doing my part as a human.

My parents admitted me to a hospital for depression when I was 20 yrs. old. I had 21 ECTs. Within an hour after each 'treatment', while I was still confused from the seizure, I'd be questioned by a doctor. At that time, I would say anything to make them stop. 52 years later, I am just now finding myself and realizing I have a place on earth like everyone else.

Yes and never will. The current antipsychotic medication is sold to every government throughout the world at $3-500 per monthly dosage. And they claim you need to take it for the rest of your life. Who’s going to invest in research for a cure - families and patients suffer daily throughout the world as antipsychotic medication makers become billionaires.

[@discerningmind]

Mental illness is so sad. It's not healing broken bones or recovering from surgery, it's inside the mind and very disabling. It was hard to watch this because the patients are suffering. I think during the era of this filming, doctors were relying on newer classes of drugs that were very potent and could do more harm than good. The last patient seems to have been a good candidate for the SSRI meds, like Prozac. Except we didn't have those back then.

My mother worked in a state hospital in the 70s. In the winter, the homeless would sign in to have a warm place with food. Since then they changed the rules, where you can't do that anymore. They also closed a good number of state hospitals. Care given was subpar but it was there. Just like nursing homes today. Poor care by people who don't want to do there job.

[@cac2821]

The reason the aides at nursing homes seem to not want their job is because they are over worked and under paid. The homes give twice the amount of patients then what is allowed by state law, the facilities work them in 12 hour shifts with no breaks, the pay is literally sh!t especially compared to the wear and tear it does to the body and The list goes on. People want compassion but they don’t want to give it. The next time you see someone that helps you, how about asking how their day is or try understanding their predicament instead of just assuming, kindness goes a long ways. I was in the medical field for many years until I couldn’t anymore and it was far from easy. What kept me going was the patients and even then that came to an end when I was losing the patients I loved hence I walked away.

[@Zamp-ju4me]

My first thought was that looks just like a damn FBI interrogation room.

HOW MANY?". :-\

I feel that when you bombard them with questions of math (especially), or naming presidents in order, or dates and times...causes more undue stress on the patients. I can't even start at 100 and subtract 7, without counting on my fingers for the correct answer. That alone ins intimidating and would make me feel stupid and inadequate. Also, those Doctors seem to have severe communication problems and are socially lacking, more so than the patients. The way he stares them down is judgemental in a way. He is not at all comforting or kind with speaking with them, and jumping to the conclusions that someone needs life long medications to live life normally is rediculous. I would probably be acting the same way in such a situation, like lashing out at people that work there. I am sure he was provoked to do so considering the senerio.

Many of the treatments in this that are still used today are used in very specific contexts or have been modified for use today. Back then, they indiscriminately handed out diagnoses, strong meds, and extreme treatment to those who didnt need them. They didnt know very much about mental illness. They would also keep the patients there indefinitely. Getting out or being declared cured was a long road back then

That was fascinating, from the perspective as a Registered Mental Health Nurse (UK). It feels like the 70s was the beginning of the new wave!

Mental health care is not perfect, but there appears to continue to be improvements over the decades... too slow, I know :(

In the 70s too many people were labeled as schizophrenic. If you showed a little fear or anxiety you were labeled schizophrenic .many people with depression would get that label too because people with depression hear voices too. The difference is the feeling of sadness. Most schizophrenic do not feel anything except maybe intense fear.

[@friedtea9969]

Where in the world did you draw the idea schizophrenic people can't experience emotion? Of course they have emotions, however they may have deficits in identifying emotion and may not be expressive about it. I'm not denying people were misdiagnosed as schizophrenic, but the statements you made aren't factual. Schizophrenic people can also have depression, so separating mental illnesses based off of "level of sadness" isn't really valid. And also, I believe the reason there were misdiagnoses in the 60s and 70s is because racism played a part in it, and how more people of color were diagnosed as schizophrenic than white people

[@myredpencil]

I really hope we advance our understanding, brain scans, and really intricate improvements to our scientific knowledge of what is going on in individual people's body. What's occuring with the brain. Really improve the future treatments, medicine, and natural function stability and how we can overcome the problem, if possible if we can improve the condition, on such a deeper level than we have ever understood how to treat, help, improve mental health disorders. I know that there is so much more to learn, so much more to find we can do, finding causes, maybe external environmental factors that could cause things like plaque build up in the brain, or messing up your endocrine system, I mean there could be, there has to be so much more to discover, to learn, way better ways to treat conditions with much improved medicine's because I know we can do so much better. Even currently we are still to this day, barely providing any true treatment, after my grandma just recently passed away not too long after developing a very sudden onset brain disorder.. we struggled to get any treatment or testing, they thought she had Louie bodies disease which I think is a rarer form of a fast onset dementia type brain disease. It's just crazy how she could go from her normal self to clearly something is going wrong in her brain function and to not be able to get good treatment, if I could I would be so motivated to work in a laboratory to focus on studying the make up of the brain on a macro scale, and hopefully find ways to lessen the amount of dementia type brain disorders and other similar things of that nature....

As if the Acid took their talent away. They spent months in Ancora and when they were released they never resurfaced as musicians let alone people. They were never able to function in the community again. Can you explain this???

[@Texaslife98]

It’s possible that the doses were so high, that it overloaded their brain’s connections thus causing brain damage. Brain damage is known to cause amnesia as well as damaging the brain’s ability to make new memories. I would compare this to that of a circuit board blowing out, from too much energy being used.

The female patient seemed very uncomfortable with that cold man! He was irritating her with the back and forth questions. The room they placed her in was cold, uncomfortable. Her eyes were saying so much, she deserved to be treated better

In 1926, Romanian psychiatrist, Constance Pascal, introduced the term “shock” to psychiatry, which was developed into the term electro-convulsive (shock treatment)

We badly need mental institutions back. They were an impedance to MK Ultra and they kept society stronger.

[@billoddiea]

Agreed. We threw the baby out with the bath water when we threw them onto the street under the nobly misguided and fundamentally flawed ideology of societal integration

[@afj617]

yes throughout the 80s and 90s they eventually got defunded to the point of closure. The idea was that we could provide the same or better quality treatment in the community, however no significant “community” psychiatric treatment really followed and prisons are now where severe mental illness is treated. We put someone on the moon in 1969, but we cannot, with trillions of dollars, possibly build these again and give tons of people good jobs in the process. Run them well this time we need them now more than ever.
