Video - Mental Health Evolution

Did you know that in the 19th century, people believed that mental illness was caused by evil spirits? Patients were often chained up, beaten, or even subjected to exorcisms as a form of treatment. In the 1800s, patients with mental disorders were sometimes placed in asylums where they were treated with questionable methods like lobotomies and electroshock therapy. It wasn't until the late 20th century that mental health began to be understood and treated with compassion and evidence-based therapies. So next time you're feeling down, be grateful for modern psychological support!
