ConspirAsylum 1: Lobotomatrix

Hello and welcome to another bad ass mini series! In this series we will be taking a closer look at mental illness and the industry around it. We’re going to be talking about the history of mental illness, from the medieval treatments all the way to the modern day outlook.. Is mental illness more of a misunderstood spiritual condition or simply something that can be prescribed away or therapy sessioned away?

In today's episode we will be looking at some ancient accounts of mental illness and treatments, the conception of the madhouses and some medieval “cures” for these conditions.
