24 MAR 2024 · Imagine a time when fashion was big, but the understanding of mental health was...well, not. We're talking quirky treatments, undesireable communal baths, and the "Annual Lunatic's Ball." Europe was just waking up to the idea that maybe, just maybe, mental illness wasn't about being buddy-buddy with demons. How shocking!

And if you thought your high school was cliquey, wait till you hear about the divisions in these asylums. But it's not all doom and gloom—there's carousel rides and dance parties, proving even in the toughest times, humans can find a sparkle of joy. Grab your time-travel gear and a dash of curiosity—let's skim through the pages of history and uncover stories that'll turn what you thought you knew on its head. Ready to be amazed? Let's light the fuse and watch the past explode into life!
