Mad also means angry. And if I was a kid with TB I'd be pretty damn mad.

Voivod, thanks for sharing the 11-18-08 news article. So many of the aslyums (PA & NJ) are broken into & graffied & damaged by traspassers, teens, adults, satan worshippers....nice to see a reminder as tempting as it might be, it's not worth breaking the law to break in or steal dinner plates for that matter.

I know that I am not an expert, I don't claim to be, but I have researched it a lot, and it seems like people are getting their time periods confused. The people who are taking offense to comments are thinking of the present or recent years. The ones who believe the majority of care given to patients was abusive should be looking to the past. Dorothea Dix, Nellie Bly, Albert Deutsch; these are all key researchers who found terrible conditions in mental hospitals.
None of them researched past 1950. Mental health care has improved in institutions, but the homeless mentally ill are still a problem-not for us, for their own well-being.
Thanks
