In the past, there was no such thing as mental illness, only
madness. Its treatment was often indistinguishable from torture or murder. This program
follows the long, often grim road towards understanding and treating mental illness.
Through testimonials, original manuscripts, photos, and extensive footage from medical
archives, leading doctors and medical historians trace the history of asylums, the
development of psychoanalysis, electroconvulsive therapy, and the rise of
psychopharmacology. The program also details the once widespread use of phrenology,
lobotomy, and lobotomy’s ancient precursor, trepanning. (51 minutes, color)
