RE: 100 Years Ago We'd All Be Locked in the Asylum
If you don't act like the norm and society finds you intolerable, you get locked up. Most of the conditions mentioned here are indeed psychological or a cause for post-traumatic stress disorder.
Currently, some of these are accepted. It's sad though when these normal free people cause incidents on a daily basis (i.e. domestic violence). I'd say there's a good and bad side to our current psychiatric health system. Overall, I believe a more accepting attitude towards these people is more helpful. (With exceptions of course)
I agree that many are psychological or precursor to PTSD, however, locking sufferers of most of these conditions is absurd. It feels like they were using the asylum as a time out for those who can pay to be rid of a spouse or family member for a while..
