About this listen
Doctors once treated mental illness by removing consciousness itself.Patients were sedated for days.Sometimes weeks.The silence was recorded as improvement.In 1979, a coroner ruled sleep therapy a direct cause of patient deaths.The practice faded quietly.No ban. No apology.This is how unconsciousness became care — and why no one could measure what was lost.
