Separating Anorexia from Hysteria
- Psychiatry asylums played a role in anorexia being recognized as its own medical condition separate from hysteria
- At first, psychiatric institutions were places where people with mental illnesses were looked after, but not treated
- This changed with a mental health reformation
- People began to see mental illness as either curable or at least manageable through kindness and therapy
- Psychiatric institutions began offering treatments and rehabilitation to the poor, and accountability came with it.
