Psychiatrist in 1950

Psychiatrists in the 1950's

I do like psychiatrist attitude towards their patients especially the guy from the YouTube channel named, "Pika Grape Snack."

They have great content they post regarding many patients with mental disabilities.

This article is about a psychiatrist performing treatments on his patients. How people disliked them and why wouldn't they go to one themselves?

The man in these films that I have found, I like that he talks about them like they are human beings and not people who are disgraceful or have something terribly wrong with them.

Some people from this time period may think of people with mental disabilities like this since it is not widely known like they are today.

The psychiatrist speaks calmly to them and tries to understand them rather make fun of them or immediately dismiss them.

He is actually interested in getting them help and finding out why they have these specific mental disabilities.

Why Psychiatrists Were Disliked in This Time Period

One thing I did not like though is their medical solutions to these mental issues such as using shock treatment or locking patients up in bathtubs for a while.

Some other treatments worth mentioning are drinking harmful substances, physical abuse, burning them, etc.

Although one psychiatrist I mentioned does treat his patients very well others are not always wanting to help their patients like this.

Some facilities do not treat their patients well at all and even neglect them to the point where their patients die.

This is especially devastating for their families as they sent them to these companies to get their family members help rather them suffer.

Why People Hated Getting Help From Psychiatrists

Lots of people hated getting help from professionals because going to these mental facilities were a sign that you are unwell and would not want to be judged once you got out.

Many people thought receiving help from any professional for any mental issues were that you are crazy and wanted to harm others for pleasure.

As you can see the public in the 50's were taught that going to facilities meant you were unstable and frightening.

People who could not blend in to the norm of the public like others and that you had something terribly wrong with you that you are considered a disgrace.

1950s Hairstyles That Were Popular and Easy

Thoughts on 50's Hairstyles Hairstyles back in this era were mostly shown of women with short curly hair. They had big curls that made the volume in their hair rise and looked so shiny as well. The women put curlers in their hair the night before while it was wet so once they took them out they would have lushish waves on the top of their heads. What is not talked about is that they did have long hair in this era. Those who did produced the commercials and photoshoots just did not include these types of women/hairstyles as much. All of these women had lots of volume and head full of hair as well, I am quite jealous. Those who had longer hair in the 1950's styled their hair with bigger curlers the night before as well. I would have to say I love the look of both hairstyles and I found them so intriguing!
