RE: Psychology Addict # 60 | A Journey Through The History of Madness.

Hi Abigail

Just a short one to thank you for continuing to produce excellent content each week for Steem!

I must admit that blood-letting is a new one to me with regards to cleansing the mentally unwell. 'Bedlam' i have heard of though via my mother who used the word to describe my brother and I when we were causing a 'fuss' or getting out of hand - now I know why after all these years!

With regards to developments in cure/relief from madness/depression, I'm not so sure we have made any progress over the years and feel the best approach is a change in lifestyle - although some minds may be beyond repair.

Have a lovely day!

Asher

Hi Asher :) Thank you for taking the time to leave your always kind and motivating feedback. I understand that things are pretty tight for you these days, timewise.

my mother who used the word to describe my brother and I when we were causing a 'fuss' or getting out of hand - now I know why after all these years!

LOVED this! 😃 I'm actually chuckling at it! :D

I have to agree with you on your observation about depression. The intrinsic pressures of modern life and the extra ones we inflict on ourselves (consumerism, peer pressure and so forth ...) are not doing our mental well-being any favours.

You take care Asher,
Wish you & your daughter (and mum) all the best! :)

Thank you very much Abigail, have a lovely week :)

@abh12345,

...my mother who used the word...
That´s funny, mine too, as well as my father, I remember hearing it a lot, my childhood must have been 'Bedlam' for my parents. 😏
