"Mental Illness: A Journey Through History and Perception" Intriguing glimpses into the past reveal the enigmatic nature of mental illness. From trepanation, a crude 14th-century practice of drilling holes in skulls to release evil spirits, to Pinel's revolutionary act of freeing mentally ill patients from shackles in France in 1796, our understanding has evolved. Captured within a single image is the essence of depression - a desolate figure slouched over, head resting on an arm. This portrayal resonates with anyone who has experienced the weight of depression or stress firsthand. William Hogarth's "The Rake's Progress - In Bedlam" transports us back to an era when those afflicted with they were confined within asylums. The haunting depiction serves as a reminder that society's perception and treatment have come far since then. Schizophrenia, often misunderstood and stigmatized, challenges our comprehension further. The figures engraved over Bethlehem Hospital's gateway symbolize this complex disorder that affects individuals' perception of reality. A jarring image emerges—a man seemingly pulling his own face off—an unsettling representation reflecting the internal turmoil faced by those battling their inner demons. Victorian satirical cartoons unmask hidden truths about mental health struggles; one portrays depression hiding behind a smiling mask while another reveals humor as a coping mechanism for those silently suffering beneath it all. Traveling across continents brings us face-to-face with Niam Niam lunatics in Sudan during 1925 (1927). Thomas A Glover captures their anguish through artistry, reminding us that mental illness transcends borders and cultures. Alice in Wonderland introduces us to the whimsical yet poignant character of the Mad Hatter—a metaphorical embodiment of madness itself—reminding us how even fiction can shed light on real-life experiences. Finally, William Hogarth returns with "A Rake's Progress - 8: The Mad House, " a chilling depiction of the 18th-century asylum experience.
