2. A Lot Less Was Known About Mental Health 100 Years Ago
Today, mental health is still one of the most mysterious parts of medicine. But 100 years ago, it was even worse. It’s easy for us to look at all of these practices now and think about how terrifying and absurd they were, but back in those times, doctors were simply doing the best they could to try and understand what was wrong and how to fix it. Nowadays, we are still unable to know exactly how to fix the human mind, mainly because there’s no right way to run a brain!
When it comes to hearts, stomachs, and livers, we know if there’s a problem and we mostly know how to fix it. But our brains operate our personalities, feelings, and emotions, so you can’t just flip a switch and fix things when you have mental disorders like depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. Diagnoses for these diseases take awhile as well, and it’s hard to know exactly what people do and don’t have. But at least in our modern times, we are able to give people pills and therapy instead of cutting out chunks of their brains and electrocuting them.
