A look at the history of mental health treatment in the United States

Mental illness affects every one of us in some way – whether it’s you, your child or a friend. We have come a long way in our understanding of mental health, but there’s still so much we don’ t know. Join us as we take a look at the history of mental health treatment in the United States and the stigma that is still sometimes connected to mental illness today.
