Asylum stories: most strange "cure" for patients

I always loved to see movies and play games with this genre. My favourite.

I loves playing Outlast, for its story, the stories of the patients, subjected to experiments, when they turn really insane. 

The medicaments sometimes could make the patient feel worst than when it was submitted to the hospital, because of the horrible experiments doctors made on them. Well, those poor patients always suffer the most, because of their illness and because of doctors who make experiments on them.

1. Asylums where doctors prescribed LSD

Dr. Abramson, the former director of research at the Amityville Insne Asylum, was called a Psychiatric Dracula by his collegues for his cruel methods. He would prescribes LSD to his patients.

He was involved in programme called MKULTRA in which he performed mind colntrol experiments for the CIA.

The doctor never told what he prescribed to his patients, so several of them turned addicted.

If you remember, this method was one of the used in Mount Massive asylum, in Outlast.The ones who have read the documents, will remember this.

2. Bethlam Royal Hospital in London

This asylum was desorganized and and insane. The word "bedlam" stands for confusion and noise. This is the oldest asylum in the world, admitting since 1357. Known by atrocious conditions and cruel treatments of its patients.

The public were invited to watch the victims in cages and even poke them with sticks.

3. Pilgram psychiatric center 

Centered in Long Island. Could house as many 14.000 patients at a time. 

This hospital used extremely agressive methods of curing. 

Lobotamy and electric shock therap were the norm. The doctors started using large doses of insulin and metrozol to drive patients into a violent coma, just to be rid of them.
