Anyway, wanted to share my pics:

That sounds awesome. I’d love to do a tour of an old asylum. I wonder if there are any left nearby in Australia to check out.

That’s fking awful!
The stigma was way worse back then and psychiatry was in its infancy
It basically came down to torturing the “insane” into submission

old asylums were sh i t. 
People had zero meaning here. No one truly cared what they experienced.
And there were so many myths about SZ as an example.

Those poor people. Least they had accommodation. Since care in the community they’ll be thrown on the streets with no support.

I’m going to close the thread. One of the rules of the forum is to be nice to each other. Let’s respect that.
