Probably because you until the 80s you could get thrown into an assilym and given a labotomy or worse.

yeah idk about this one, it wasn’t good but the asylum shit was killed in the 50s from what i can remember. Obviously we didn’t do much after that, but it probably wasn’t as bad. Most of those people probably just ended up in prison to be honest. Again for lobotomies, it looked like we stopped doing that in the mid 50s, by the 60s probably entirely.

Also the reason mental healthcare sucks is that we don’t have enough practitioners right now. It’s a bit of a problem.
