    birds-nest-shirley-jackson.jpgFew conditions are as often stigmatized, misdiagnosed and misunderstood as mental illnesses. Whether schizophrenia, depression, anxiety disorders, or any other maladies of the mind, you can be sure there has been controversial debate about it. At times it seems as though early treatments were little more than trial and error or process of elimination.

    In colonial times, it was widely believed that mental illness was the result of a full moon at the time of a baby’s conception or birth – hence the term “lunatic”. Treatments which by today’s standards sound ludicrous or barbaric were widely accepted in earlier years, and included electroconvulsive therapy (shock treatment), intense bloodletting, alternating immersion in scalding hot and freezing cold water, drilling holes in the skull to release whatever was causing the perceived insanity, and much more.

    Most psychiatrists in western medicine have been homeopathic quacks. They always felt it was best to cure insanity with more insanity.

    To end this unfortunately serious post I thought we should finish with a song.
