suits for burial of residents?

I hate to tell you this but ECT is still in use. Though it might be a little different than it was before. The patients are under sedation or anestesia during the proceedure and are given muscle relaxants. Their brains are then zapped into convulsions. I have a few friends that have had this sort of treatment. While it is used when medications fail, it actually can be effective but can cause memory loss. They don't just get the treatment once it is a series of treatments before it is complete. Might actually be the one treatment that did have some theraputic benefit but was used far too often and inhumanely at first without anestesia or muscle relaxants.

the picture of the clocktower in silhouette is so creepy....I can hear the "Psycho" music in the background!!!!

What exactly was this facility used for? I know only that it was some sort of hospital for the mentally ill.

looks like something or someone could be watching from the windows. spooky picture

looks like some kind of medieval fortress or something. scary
