| 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
