Psychoses & Psychoneuroses Treatments | 1930's

[@JennyBunny240]

Pretty sad these patients aren't seen today. But at the and of the day, this all lead up to knowing the things we do today x some terrible things happened in psychic hospitals though

[@sandraadao634]

Infelizmente existe substituição,e vai ser sempre assim.

[@Lunarbutterflytarot]

No wonder so many people lost their lives in such terrible places meant to help them.

[@spunkysparks1779]

I know if I were packed in wet sheets, id get even more mad.

[@echofoxtrot2.051]

They'd leave you tied down until you gave up.

[@blackswan1983]

That might've been the intended effect. Get all the angry out while restrained.

[@Eirinen_E34]

Yes, I wouldn't have liked that either.

[@blackswan1983]

So many of these treatments involved activating or calming down peripheral nerveous system signals, like a sensory processing treatment. It's amazing how much treatment has changed but also remained the same

[@MrDocdave]

Practices used in the 1930s all over the world ....

[@burbanpoison2494]

This could easily be mistaken for Germany.

This is creepy...

[@PsychRad]

Very interesting material. Thanks for sharing.

Who says "some" of this isn't still happening in State hospitals? In all fairness, I didn't see anything abusive here. They were trying to help these people the only way they knew how. That said, there ABSOLUTELY was/is abuse in mental & physical hospitals. I'd like to think workers and family members can feel much more open to reporting such abuse these days.

[@lfairy6130]

The abuse is manipulation and isolation and treating people who are clearly neurodivergent as stupid etx

[@Kristen2245]

@@lfairy6130 back then they didn't know much about those things. They were still new then so they were using what they already know to try there best and help.

[@andrewmorton395]

It still happens today all over the world

[@5thdimension625]

Exactly! This was pre medication days. They had one psych med then. The release of antipsychotic meds allowed hospitals to close. And I bet the treatment in a psych hospital was less traumatic than living on the streets being denied mental health services.

[@soft_serve_666]

Well this is just what's being recorded. They may not have been this attentive and gentle when the camera wasn't rolling.

[@hasaheadachenow]

Dear gawd this looks like sanctioned torture. Those poor souls.

[@ChristopherLightfoot-zu3kb]

This is all they had until the wonderful pharmaceuticals were invented…. Ice pick out my frontal lobe and give me a basket to weave and I’m a happy camper…

[@jenniechurch5337]

No sound???

[@audreyhepburns]

i just dont understand why they have to be blindfolded

[@jenniechurch5337]

Insulin treatments??? Oh my...!!! 😲😲😲😬😬😬

[@alexwest9646]

what is that thing they put in their mouths while they were shaking?

[@Stacey0909]

Something HARD & Sturdy for the patient to bite down on, in hopes that they won't bite their tongue or even chomp part of it off, 😳🤯while the electricity causes the jerky, seizure-like convulsions and involuntary movements. 💖🙏💞

[@asher1013]

A mouthguard essentially. To protect the tongue. Because seizures can induce involuntary muscle movement. Which can cause the jaw to bite down very hard until it stops. And ECT is basically inducing a seizure as a sort of “reset” to the brain.

[@sandraadao634]

In my case and the cases of king Faisals 3 bus loads of orphans from king Faisals orphanage that was taken to George Wallaces friend Dr Joesph Glaister and sometimes I want to say I believe that I know you and know where you really came from and whats happened to you over the years but I am to scared to? Some of the orphans from Saudi Arabia and Russia that was on the 3 bus loads of orphans of king Faisals orphanages that was given electric shocks reprogramming therapy to make them forget themselves still go to Riverbend Mental Health Center from when Dr Joesph Glaister was a doctor?? I want to say you was adopted out to someone other than your real parents by Howell Heflin and Doug Jones and Jeff secession offices that gave you new identitys and never wanted you to ever be found out about because they sealed your identity and that you was never to remember who you really were?? And its going to be OK! Triangle 🔺️ Marie Davis
