personalcolor asked you:

(I don’t know if you answered this already or not, so I’ll ask again.) I’m writing a realistic story about the asylums of the last century (something like in American Horror Story). I’m Spanish, so I’m not very familiar with American/English psychosocial system. So I was wondering if you could help on any tips to write about people with mental illness and also about the asylums of the time. Thanks!

I have a mental illness tag with a bunch of resources for portraying mental illnesses.

More:

• Lunatic Asylums: 1840’s - 1900’s
• Mental Hospitals 1910’s - 1930’s
• Psychiatric Hospitals, 1940’s - 1960’s
• Closing the Hospitals, 1960’s - 1990’s
• (The above are all New Zealand, but is still relevant)
• The History of Mental Illness
• Treatment for the Insane Improved in the Early 1900’s
• Insane Asylums
• The Most Famous and Notorious Insane Asylums
• Early Psychiatric Hospitals and Asylums
• A Brief History of Mental Illness
