As a child in the 1960's I remember my poor mother going in and out of Norwich State Hospital. My mother had a thick Brazilian accent as well as mental illness and emotional instability. She always told us horror stories of receiving electro shock therapy as well as being put in a bathtub filled with ice. Any pictures of the hospital reminds me only of her deep suffering there. Because us kids were so young we were only able to wave at our mother up in a window. How sad. I don't believe she received very much compassion there.
