  • Madness, Carousel Rides, and the Quest for Sanity: A 19th-Century Mental Health Odyssey

    Madness, Carousel Rides, and the Quest for Sanity: A 19th-Century Mental Health Odyssey
    Mar 24 2024
    Imagine a time when fashion was big, but the understanding of mental health was...well, not. We're talking quirky treatments, undesireable communal baths, and the "Annual Lunatic's Ball." Europe was just waking up to the idea that maybe, just maybe, mental illness wasn't about being buddy-buddy with demons. How shocking! Meanwhile, across the pond, the U.S. was stitching together its own patchwork of mental health care—think family care mixed with a side of "Oops, we accidentally built a nightmare island." This episode will guide us through the ins and outs of mental health care back when "moral treatment" was the new hotness, and asylums were popping up like Starbucks. And if you thought your high school was cliquey, wait till you hear about the divisions in these asylums. But it's not all doom and gloom—there's carousel rides and dance parties, proving even in the toughest times, humans can find a sparkle of joy. Grab your time-travel gear and a dash of curiosity—let's skim through the pages of history and uncover stories that'll turn what you thought you knew on its head. Ready to be amazed? Let's light the fuse and watch the past explode into life!
