Bedford Lunatic Asylum : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bedford Lunatic Asylum
The Bedford Lunatic Asylum was built in 1812, and was the second of its kind in England. It was open for 48 years and closed in 1860 because the asylum was not improving its patients' health.〔(The Lunatic Asylum )〕 == Background == Before the Lunacy Act of 1808, only the rich could afford treatment for physical or mental ailments. Although the wealthy had money to pay for treatment, the techniques available at the time were neither safe nor humane. Purges, vomiting and restraint were standard treatments in an age which considered ‘raving madness’ and melancholia to be caused by physical malfunctions like any other disease."〔(Susan Edwards )〕 The passage of the Lunacy Act of 1808 allowed counties to build asylums with their own money.〔 Changes started being made to help people with mental illness.
