Psychiatric isolation ward

A psychiatric isolation ward is a place where there is a person who is in a state of insanity, that is, who has manifested any mental disorders. This article will tell us how this rather unique position in our society appeared and developed.

The appearance of an isolation ward on the territory of any modern state is associated with the emergence of mental illnesses. Many citizens did not know what to do during a severe crisis of mass mental illness, so the service was created to treat them. Psychiatric Isolations - institutions designed to contain and treat people with mental illnesses, mainly posing a danger to themselves or others; as well as for persons declared insane by judicial authorities. From the moment the psychiatric hospital opened, it had cells designed to accommodate one patient, but it soon turned out that it was easier and cheaper to keep mentally ill people together. In the USSR, the first mental hospitals appeared in the early 30s of the last century.
