This us where inquisitors went after witchcraft and herecy went out of fashion.
Still a fair amount of quackery in that field. Victims still get PTSD from psychological and judicial abuses performed by these doctors. Some still use physical abuse as well. Once you're accused, even without good reason or evidence, they have the power to keep you there as long as they see needed. And abusers often falsify journals to keep a narrative in their favour. You're guilty until the opposite is proven, and often they don't care to investigate what would disprove their claim. This is where the inquisitors went once herecy and witchcraft went out of fashion.
First hand experience and from my friends... If you attempt your life or if you self harm due to rape, torture , abuse, neglect you get thrown in a padded room and told by laughing Dr's and nurses that you will never see the light of day and never breath in fresh air. Yet the purpitrators walk free. So yeah, I can understand why people don't want to seek help. I don't want to seek help. Being treated like and criminal yet the child rapist and torturer walk free to live their lives. It makes me sick how today let alone back then , how people are treated. My little brother was given detention for warning his female friend in elementary school about the ball they lost ended up in a registered child rapists yard across from Lee. H. Kelloge school in the historic district of falls village CT. Had a cop as a friend who told me to do my best to not cut and that he hates people too. The police told him he couldn't do anything about a man in Wales UK jacking off over children walking past to school with his windows open. That's just a small amount of stuff to what I'm aware of in my personal life and my friends. Humans make me sick , 90% deserve to be mass murdered
just being forced to live in the middle east is enough to cause someone to develop mental illness
i love watching this at 2:45 am, great times
Malariotherapy was quite an innovation at the time: After it was only proven in 1913 that general paresis of the insane (GPI) was caused by late stage syphilis, Wagner-Jauregg's malariotherapy 1917 was the first working cure: The fevers induced by the malaria virus would kill of the syphilis, while the malaria itself could be treated with quinine. While GPI was considered to be inevitably fatal, treated as above the survival chance skyrocketed to 85%. It got outdated pretty fast, as penicillin became available around 1945 and proved a superior treatment, but in this quarter century it would have saved many lives, especially as syphilis was widespread at the time. As to the matter of consent: Symptoms of GPI include impairment of judgement, as well as delusions (e.g. of immortality). While the patients' will should always be taken into account, those patients are not fit to make those decisions at that time. Instead advance healthcare directives should come into action, but those weren't even a concept at the time.
Lithium salts are common drugs for bipolar disorder today! No need for the FDA to cry themselves to sleep.
Hope Any good parentes may tell tere sweet children to take an metal pin and stick it in an Power outlet so that drś in The future will understand that electrotherapy is bad for y
4:02 I can bet that this is the asylum they used to film good burger in
Hi Thoughty. Amazing videos. I'm a happy subscriber learning from you every day even though I'm almost twice your age! Just something I wanted to mention; in the UK at least, ECT is still very commonly administered. Muscle relaxants are now used and the average 'patient' receiving ECT being lower than ever in social status means that this is now something that is 'sanitised' and increasingly happens in the dark corners of society, but it still happens, a lot!
Early in the third millennium, I delivered some medical equipment (I don't know what) to St Pancras Hospital in London, England. That's a huge old red-brick Victorian monstrosity, more reminiscent of a prison, but which has been shabbily facelifted by a number of more modern prefabricated annexes. At the gatehouse reception, I was directed to a wing tucked well away round the back. There, I encountered another small prefabricated reception. Nobody was about. The paint was peeling extensively. Through windows festooned by ancient spider webs, I could see faded and yellow newspapers on a table, some cheap grimy seats, and two or three potted plants that had long since died from neglect and mummified. Their soil had all but turned to stone. I pressed the intercom and was buzzed-in without a word. I crossed to the hospital proper and pulled open an unsecured door. Inside, was as silent and grim as any movie set. There were locked doors with obscured windows, old discarded apparatus, and a forbidding flight of concrete stairs. The only way was up. Atop the second flight was a door and another intercom. Once again I was buzzed-in without query. I found myself in a gloomy corridor with filing cabinets and other discarded items shoved against the walls. There were doors leading off at intervals. The entry door closed like a deep breath behind me and I jumped. Not wanting to disturb patients by hollering, I began looking in rooms to find staff. My footsteps were loud and squeaky on the floor. The first room I entered was evidently some sort of wash room. I found myself confronting a huge Afro-Caribbean guy dressed in a bathrobe rather like a prizefighter who'd taken a punch too many. He was positioned in a shower cubicle. No water was running. He just stood there, staring at me in vacant incomprehension. I apologized habitually and backed away. Other movement caught my attention and I observed to the side, a second guy. He was white, frail-looking with a shock of tousled grey hair on his drooping head. In the poor light he looked like Medusa. He began to turn and confront me with that same vapid stare. I retreated into the corridor only to find three more fairly close at hand and converging upon me from one direction quite noiselessly. Each again wore that sad, vacant expression. I headed off in the other direction fairly briskly in a slight panic, and could hear a subdued but coherent conversation. Up ahead two more phantoms appeared and began to gravitate in my direction. At last, I called out, and the voice replied, "In here". I stepped through another doorway and encountered a young Afro-Caribbean guy seated at something like a shop counter. He was amiably chatting on a mobile phone to what sounded like his girlfriend. He was alone and evidently bored stiff. He signed for the goods and assured me I was in no danger. They'd all had their meds. Returned to the corridor, all the apparitions had vanished as strangely as they'd appeared. I secured the doors after me and breathed a gasp of relief as I stood in the sunlight. That's mental health care in third millennium Britain. And it sucks...
As long as you have the same structures within your eyes, you do see the same colors. Larger amounts of cones or rods would affect how saturated and how bright some colors are, or, in the case of Retinitus Pigmentosa, a serious darkening of things in shadow. Someones red would not be someone else's blue, unless they both had specific types of colorblindness.
this might explain why modern psych units are feared. but i want everyone to know that these cruel practices do not continue on today and that the modern psych units are actually quite nice. other than having your cell phones taken and few possesions of yoru own its quite nice. am speaking from experience so no worries of these occuring again
Interesting medical history for you, the cure for drowning was literally blowing smoke up someone's ass, which is where the saying comes from. There were "life saving kits" besides rivers or bellows and a way to make smoke instead of the life bouys we see today. As for women suffering from hysteria in Victorian times who can blame them. The "prescription" was a orgasm from the doctor at a time when they probably weren't getting even a slight tremble at home. The reason they fainted a lot is believed to be due to the stupidly tight corsets they were expected to wear that restricted their organs and even permanently moved some squashing them up in the rib cage.
I personally have lived in an group home, and i can tell you that sadlly enough. That there are still so much cases of abuse in there. When i talked back because my rights where violated they would trow me in seperation. For 3 days. Only a bed and toilet no windows and 1 light that was on 24 hours a day. So there are still cases of abuse
Some of thosw treatments are now known as enhance interrogation techniques
I'm afraid of crazy people, but they shouldn't be treated cruelly.
I spent a week in an insane asylum after an atempted suicide attempt I dont wish it on noone. I definitely learned my lesson. That place was horrible and SUCKED so bad. I'll never go back, ever
When i take a cold shover i start laughing and giggling. And im getting more conscious. Its strange. I usually shover hot.
You should download this audios as podcasts on spotify
Adhd and bpd sufferers still suffer this treatment in Australia to this day and can be sectioned for anything by almost anyone and electric shock therapy is still practiced in mental hospitals to this day in Australia
His eyes are so purdy. 🥰
Damn i wish i could put my wife inside an asylum
15:08 bullshit, the U.S. still does lobotomies and electro shock treatment. They just don't do it very much anymore. Sometime in the 2000's the f.d.a. officially approved electro shock treatment for the extreme cases that don't respond to medication or other treatments. Don't know about the officialness of lobotomies, but I watched documentaries about people who had recently gotten it at the very least in the late 1990's early 2000's.
I am scared by idea of lobotomy..
Holy fuck.....
This man is the British VSauce.
Stoneheast Asylum (movie) did a good job showing some of these “methods.” (It’s a thriller film, not horror.”
I remember reading this story of a young transgender person who was attemted to be cured by electro-shock therapy. It was truly horrible indeed.
Lithium carbonate is used to treat bipolar disorder so they might have had some scientific knowledge
I used to thick how stupid they were but now I think if they never did that then we would never know if what they did was right or wrong, we would have also done the same things as them cause we wouldn't know if it's actually helps or making things worse
Man....If they just sended me there as a doctor I would do a better job then those...
"This is what really happened inside insane asylums" Go ask my Ex-Girlfriend, she knows
K
The exact same thing happens today just with different strategies. Medications that are not only totally useless but extremely dangerous to a person's well beeing are combined with crazy amounts of bullshitting, irrational labels forced up on individuals without even knowing them, departing people from their families trough manipulation and no real interest in actually curing patients who experience those difficulties.
Bruh
What a brave woman Nellie Bly was.
Piss breath why did I imagined that
What in the AHS
Psychology, more like psycotigy
I feel like some of the asylum buildings got remodeled and became schools
Very insightful. Love the presentation.
Factual Jokes. Marvelous
A bit depressing for my liking, couldnt make it past half way.
This video sums up what I had realized a few years ago. Stupidity got no limits. After I realized that I got scared of stupid people.
Asylums, Victorian torture dungeons!
Well uproars I didn't want to get treated for my severe OCD back when I had it, in my country there are very little actual psychologists and much more, these types of asylums(although I sincerely doubt they are this cruel but I know they aremuch worse then prisons per say), that makes me sick why even now treat innocent mental patients that are fighting the worst possible enemy already(their respective mental sickeness/ess) like much worse scum then even murderers!? I mean that shit is even worse then 202 2020: Hey what was that, I can revive myself you know!? Me: Nothing, you are the strongest in mental torture naturally. 2020: Good boy
pls can you make thumbnails less scarier you alredy scared me in the video how to get away with murder.
All I kind think or say to this is oof
hi 42 whats up
Someone went to a psychologist, and
It was good until the virtue signal. 10:55
Cookie hoop cereal
15:10 actually, it was already banned before in the 30s...by ittaly and germany. It seems that dictators are surprisingly good at spotting idiotic medical treatments.
Being a human is also subjective
Remember, there is such a thing as human cruelty, not just animal cruelty.
This must be the worst ice bath challenge ever
15:03 NU PAPA YOSEF EXTREMELY MERCIFUL CYKA HE SENT MY FAMILY TO GULAG AND I ONLY HAD TO WORK HALFTIME BECAUSE I WAS CHILD BLYAT NOW IDI NAHUI BEFORE PAPA YOSEF SEND YOU TO GULAG DEBIL
Psych Wards are still the same way.... Just drug the person coming in and they get worse and worse with every dose they force on you.. Speaking from experience in 2016 - 2017
The Bath of surprise sounds more like a prison move where a prisoner joins the bathtub and fuck in the ass to Manifest his alpha Position what would be the shower of surprise nowadays I guess
Roman Man: "Kiss me!" Roman Woman: "Have you pissed on your teeth yet?" Roman man: "Of course I did."
Doctors of old were better clients for the asylums, than the patients themselves.
Truth
No votes for women.
just as a side not if you think electro shock is not used anymore ...look up ECT Electro Cunvulsive Theropy I can tell you first hand it's still used but perhaps not in the same fashion it was...and always remember...I't better to have a full bottle infront of me than a full frontal labotmy...
I keep forgetting this guy isnt my teacher, so everytime he curses im shocked he would ever say such a word
@15:00 when the Soviet Union deems your treatment to be inhumane, you know you fucked up.
Being deemed insane when you are not and then fighting against the people calling you insane, ultimately driving you insane, has got to be one of the most terrifying things I can imagine.
13:58 he was a nazi too
I love a good spin till I puke when I'm feeling down. But ill def take the morphine n cocaine
Me having an indent where "self-esteem" is:👁👄👁
Rest of the world should look to how we got our rights freedoms in Britain and what led to them whom sacrificed what to get them for us. But the government has want to bring changes aswell🤔🤔its easy not to know what you are doing and cause distress abuse etc but once you know what 8s wrong to carry on doing it is totally another ball game🤔🤔
Suffererjets etc 🙏❤️ for rights for our mothers daughters sisters etc ❤️🙏
Well, you are`nt Tortured in the Psychiatric Institution nowadays, but most of the Nurses don`t really know how to handle the Masses of Sick People and just stuff Pills in them until they Shut up.
Bring back Insane Asylums, mad people are running amok.
The guys is really good at making titles and really bad at making videos
You know the police should take notes from the manslaughters committed by the people who were supposed to take care of the patients
This is so ridiculous
Once upon a time the human race was none the worse for its non-existence.
He said Jay Lenos head is lumpy lol
Being centre all 🔬👀🧠 thought n mind or matter a psy see s more than psyc n logics know take out n ology 📜a known order civily n asylum s 📀 no break out ✨ n sciences 🌏👃🖕 envire 👢
I will never look at Roman's the same... HAIL PISSBREATHE !!! I mean Cesar
🤣🤣🤣 piss breff
"What IF we spin them around very fast" "Why?" "Why not maybe it helps and even if it doesn't it will be a great show nonetheless"
“Coercion chair” is not going to leave me any time soon.
Madness in civilization by Andrew Scull is a must read if you want to know more about how we used to and are now treating mental illness.
Even though they've come a long way, how we treat and view mental illness nowadays seems highly flawed and will one day be viewed similarly to how we view past mental illness treatments.
You seem to not make a difference between psychology and psychiatry.
I worked at Westbro state hospital for 4 yrs my mother retired from there but yes the old building is his layout they had a farm that everything they actually supplied the building with the food and stuff a lot of them but now it’s all underground tunnels and a couple of the buildings are mean they just closed it I don’t know I’d say maybe 10 years ago but yeah if you go down in the tunnels you can see like a little tiny spaces where you could see the person about the size of a small closet with the old chains are used to cuff them if acting up during transport under ground
Good day fellow human, I was pleasantly surprised by how often I cracked up, you are insanely funny, gratitude!
''...spinning the ever-loving shit out out mentally ill people, was a marvellous idea!'' might be my favourite sentence ever!!!
Not much has changed to this day and now we continue the cruel perception of treating people outside of institutions.
Sanity is a simple thing, maybe I can drown it out of them?
This was enhanced treatment procedures. Just like enhanced interrogation 😉
The people running those asylums are the ones that need to be put in them
So many of you need to be institutionalized, and please get your arm out of your noses while I degrade you.
Bruh I was in this weired therapy thing when I was a kid and they would legit put me in this weired hanging hamock thing and spin me around if I started crying or anything and they were terrible at therapy and everyone I know that was on the same mental helth program says they did more harm than good (I left after my mam told me off for telling my therapist that she talks about me to people right infront of me and I realised he was telling her everything)
Ugh, some of what described was so icky I felt faint at certain points.
There's an old asylum/sanitarium that was turned into college dorms near me
GET TO THE POINTTTTT lol
