HEALTH AND ILLNESS IN BRITAIN TODAY: “MAD”
Before 1850 it was common for those classified as 'mad' to live either with their families or in workhouses with other deviants such as criminals and beggars. However, some private madhouses were established as early as the fifteenth century. Their standards varied enormously but were generally very poor. Gradually asylums specifically for the insane were opened, often by religious philanthropists. They were regarded as retreats where kindly 'moral treatment' was provided to help people get well. The York Retreat, established in 1796, is described by Davison and Neale (1990): 'York Retreat was established on a country estate. It provided the mentally ill with a quiet religious atmosphere in which to live, work and relax. They discussed their difficulties with attendants, worked in the garden and took walks in the countryside.'
This situation was not to continue. In the second half of the nineteenth century large, public mental asylums were erected and mental disturbance was 'medicalized'; the asylums were termed 'mental hospitals' and the people in them 'patients'. The number of people confined in these institutions rapidly increased and, as they did so, the philosophy and treatment practices, which were initially humanitarian, were gradually eroded resulting in stark institutions of confinement and harsh treatment. The situation became progressively worse, for as the numbers rose the asylums became more expensive to run leading to cost cutting measures rendering conditions even worse. Money which had originally been spent on everyday care was now used to purchase expensive medical and laboratory equipment.
The rate of insanity rose from 12.66 per 10 000 to 19.12 per 10 000 between 1844 and 1860 and the number of people per asylum rose from 386 in 1860 to 1072 in 1910 . This huge expansion probably had more to do with industrialization, which created an unwillingness or inability to tolerate unusual or deviant behaviour, than a real increase in mental disturbance. The growing influence and power of the medical profession at this time may also have been influential. Wide-scale concern for people incarcerated in mental handicap and psychiatric hospitals did not occur until the second half of the twentieth century. These hospitals are now being closed and, to some extent, mental illness and mental handicap are undergoing 'demedicalization' though many criticize the way in which this is taking place and are sceptical about the motives behind it.
