It's sad what you have to say to pander to republican voters. Only the finest in incompetence and ignorance for them!

Since the beginning of time, we have seen and read about the grotesque and inhumane "treatments" imposed upon people who experience emotional / psychological distress -- called by those who believe in the medical model of "mental illness."

Through the ages, mental patients have been subject to torture -- called "treatment" -- which has included being shackled to walls of dungeons, put in tanks of ice-cold water, spun in chairs for hours, and, more recently, seclusion (isolation), most often without clothing; restraints (being strapped to a bed with leather restraints, often in a spread-eagle position); forced "medications" (powerful psychoactive drugs); forced labor (called "industrial therapy" or some other term), and, sometimes, electroshock, which has become a more popular form of treatment, after going "out of vogue" for a period in the 1970s' and early 80's. There are also reports of the return of lobotomies, particularly at one hospital in Massachusetts. If you have seen "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," almost all people who have experienced hospitalization in a mental institution agree that it was an accurate depiction of life on a psychiatric ward--then and now.
