Re: Vintage Mental Asylum Photos
Amazing how some look normal and others look obviously crazy. I'm sure none of them were getting the best treatment though...

Re: Vintage Mental Asylum Photos
I recognise a lot of these from my Asylum gallery on Pinterest, they seem to tell such tragic stories with their eyes.

Re: Vintage Mental Asylum Photos
I suffer from depression, and bi polar disorder, but I say 'suffer' very lightly. I suffer from it in the way that I have it, and nothing else. I'm medicated for it, and while I know a lot of you, and the a lot of the public are against pharma, I can say that without the medication I take (Manerix, Trazodone, Lamotrotine, and Ativan — for my panic disorder), life would be pretty hard to assimilate to. I'm fully aware of the negative effects that some of these medications I take have on me, and I find it painfully ironic that I'm extremely straight edge (never been drunk ((currently am 25)) and am strongly against recreational drugs), I've found myself to be well, not addicted, but physically dependant on Trazodone. How funny is it for me, a person that's against drugs, to feel the panic of running out of trazodone due to the horrendous withdrawal symptoms I'll get. Anyway, despite the downsides or prescription treatments, it's the lesser of evils — I'd rather be affected by medications than struggle with depressions and bipolar disorder without them. It's unfortunate that over a hundred years since these pictures have been taken, mental illness has now gained the stigma of just wanting sympathy attention. I blame teenagers for that, and it's enraging to know that people now are just brushed off when they say that they have 'depression'. Oh yeah, The reason why I'm so against drugs is because I'm almost a carbon copy of my older brother, but with significantly less severe conditions. Him smoking weed fucked with his brain and wound up causing him to have schizophreniac episodes. Drugs tore our family apart, so I definitely do have an unrealistic bias towards weed. :P I don't even know where I'm going with this, but I guess I feel comfortable saying all this since I feel the DR community would be able to understand all this better than any phony therapist would. Ahaha P.S. If you want to know how unlucky I am, here's a quick anecdote: I have been clinically diagnosed with nonverbal learning disability, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, major depressive disorder, and bipolar disorder.... My mom was born with a genius level IQ, with her scoring a 186 at the age of 16. She finished her master's degree in computer science by the age of 18, and had photographic memory good enough to reread you back a page of a novel. Thanks DNA for only passing down her bad eyesight and life affecting allergies.  |
