If I was a woman living in America in the 1800s, I would probably be locked up in an insane asylum immediately!🙈 On this episode of Current Counseling, we are talking the genesis of insane asylums in America, the inhumane treatments/ mental health care patients inside the walls of asylums experienced and what qualified someone to be admitted & committed to an asylum in the 1800s.
