HISTORY OF MENTAL HEALTH
★ Early christian times: mentally ill = possessed, therefore exorcisms were done and brutal measures
done
★ Period of Enlightenment: asylum as a safe refuge for mentally ill; Dorothea DIx opened state hospitals
that offered asylum to the suffering (advocated shelter, nutritious food, and warm clothing)
★ Study of mental disorders and creation of treatment : Freud, Kraepelin and Bleuler

Deinstitutionalization
- Care was shifted from state hospitals → community facilities
- Provided emergency care, inpatient and outpatient services, screening services and education
- (-) effect: revolving door effect : short hospital stays but with frequent repeated hospital admissions
> rehospitalization is greatly affected by alcohol and drug use which exacerbates symptoms

21st century
- 18–25yo : highest prevalence of Mental Illness & the lowest percent of people receiving treatment
