Mental Hospital Timeline

This is an article that gives a brief timeline of mental hospitals in the US.  As we know in the book, the patients are subjected to electroshock therapy and other controversial treatments.  I thought this timeline was interesting because it shows the advancement of the treatment of mental patients over time.  They have been progressively treated more humanely.
