About this listen
🏛️🕯️ Long before modern psychology, therapy, or compassion, there was Bedlam — Europe’s most infamous asylum and a symbol of how little the world understood the human mind. Founded in medieval London, it became a place of fear, confinement, and spectacle, where illness was confused with sin, and suffering was often treated as entertainment.
Tonight, close your eyes and step into the echoing halls of history’s first asylum — a quiet reminder of how far mental health care has come, and how painful the journey once was.
