Thorazine for the dog?? Poor dog!!

Serenity now, insanity later!

With a few million bucks, one could sure turn it into a nice hotel! And give ghost tours an the side.

I can hear the faint strains of "The Entertainer" drifting down a hall.

This reminds me of somewhere I used to live.

This reminds me so much of the manor house that they used for exterior shots in the old "Dark Shadows" series!! Awesome!!

Blue and green were found to be calming, but also cause depression. Red causes aggitation, and yellow cheers people up...at first, then it becomes agitating. Orange causes hunger cravings, white is sterile, but also cold. They study and study color, but the reactions are different depending on time exposed, hue, and even meds people are on.

Thank God we don't live in that era of "One Flew Over the Cukoos Nest". Residents may still be resistive to treatment, but they are involved in their recovery. ECT can be beneficial, even today, for some. I have seen it make a non-functional person functional.

The tiles on wall don't look like the regular subway tile, they look smaller, and the freize on the top is great. Where have all these craftsmen gone?

I can't figure out if it looks like a drunken, lonely chair or something that is inherently evil...

It is also illegal to administer involuntary ECT (at least in the US), which itself makes an enormous difference. I've mostly only read of it being used for extreme cases of depression, in which all other treatments have already failed.

Maybe they were donations. When asking for diaper donations they didn't mention "Adult Diapers".

Both green and blue were shown to have a calming effect on personnel in a Navy study done in the late 60's. Funny thing, the same study showed that fluorescent lighting caused intense stress among personnel in office or shop settings.

So pretty.

damn whoever pulled it out
