Treatment, if provided, paralleled other medical treatments of the time, including bloodletting and purgatives.
Who helped the mentally ill in the 1800s?Although many noteworthy figures influenced the founding of asylums in the 19th century, Dorothea Dix was the one who convinced many state legislatures to pay for them (1). By doing so, she liberated many people with serious mental illness from neglect and inhumane conditions.
Who was the first to treat mental illness?In the 5th century B.C., Hippocrates was a pioneer in treating mentally ill people with techniques not rooted in religion or superstition; instead, he focused on changing a mentally ill patient's environment or occupation, or administering certain substances as medications.
