EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures a moment frozen in time from 1881 at La Salpetriere, a famous hospital for the mentally ill in Paris. The patient depicted sits on her bed, her expression one of anguish and confusion. Her eyes seem to gaze into the distance, lost in a world that only she can see.
The photograph is a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by those suffering from mental illness during this period. In an era where understanding and treatment of such conditions were limited, patients like the woman in the picture often found themselves confined to institutions like La Salpetriere.
Despite being labeled as "hysterical" by medical professionals of the time, it is clear that this patient was experiencing real pain and distress. The photo serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come in our understanding and treatment of mental health issues.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this powerful image, allowing us to reflect on the history of mental health care and the experiences of those who were once marginalized and misunderstood. It serves as a testament to the resilience and strength of individuals who have struggled with mental illness throughout history.
