After viewing this list of what could have gotten you admitted to West Virginia’s Hospital for the Insane (Weston) aka Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum back in the late-1800s, I’ve swiftly concluded that the criteria was rather all-encompassing. Who among us is a stranger to what’s on this list?
In this century, it looks more like a “wish list” for Dr. Phil’s guest bookers!
Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum is still open, but only for tours.

They now instruct children on how to accomplish about half that list in school.

Just as pseudoscientific as ever. And just as effective with their “treatments” as ever.

Having over 50% of these symptoms, I felt really bad.
Till I found out Slings and Laz are hitting 98 percent.

Why would it say “1864 to 1889?” I’m not sure this isn’t bogus.

“Masturbation”
and
“Suppressed Masturbation”
are both symptoms that warrant locking us up.
They’ve got us coming and going.

Laziness? Check.
Mental Excitement? Check.
Bad habits and political excitement? Check.
Masturbation or suppressed masturbation? Check.
Bad company? Check.
Domestic trouble? Check.
Greediness? Check.
Disappointment in seduction? Check.
The list goes on and on. Lock me up already.

To update the list today all that is needed is one item: posting on free republic.

Actually the mental health “system” in the USA is a disaster. There are lot more mentally ill people walking around now compered to times past. IMO most of the random shootings and massacres, like happened in Chas. SC, would never had occurred if it was ( God forbid ) easier to have someone committed. We don’t have a gun problem we have a free lunatic problem.
