Insane asylums of the past

Reading this article, I was just replaying Outlast !! They made it so real, as it was in the past.

Just read the reasons to be admitted in the asylum

1. Lobotomy

It was one of the most used treatements used to patients, it wouls result the patient became zombie, with no expression. 

2. Electroconvulsive therapy

Also known as shock therapy, the patients were subject to electric shocks to numb all their feelings and cure their illness.

2. Horrible conditions

Those who could not control themself, where hold in cages for days or even months or years.

Some asylums held as many as ten times the amount of patients it could hold and some just had only three attendees for these patients, leaving them to sleep in filth and their own excrement.

3. Left naked

The patiets were left naked and with no activity. There was no cleanliness and the patients were left to wallow in their own filth. 

The hospital were build to hold 2500 patients, but hold 6000 with o care and facilities.

4. Unquilifyied staff

There were small number of trained stuff, so they employed help from whenever they got it, no matter of the qualifications.

Blackwell prison hired prisoners to take care of the patients.

And the rest you know, terrible experiments made in patients, terrible facilities> patients were left in darkness at night,
