The history of madness and mental hospitals

To document madness means that you document humanity itself with its suffering and pains. You understand the nature of mental illness and ways to treat it and accept patients in a way that comprehends their pains, showing mercy to them without considering them as incomplete individuals or a burden on society. How did humanity understand madness? And how did it treat it? At first, it was seen as a disturbance in the balance of body fluids. Then divine punishment or demonic influence, before modern concepts about the nature of mental illness appeared. As for treatment, it began with severe beating to expel evil spirits and draw blood from patients, herbs and medical recipes, then surgical operations to remove parts of the brain, leading to insulin doses, electric shocks, chemical drugs, and mental hospitals. What was life like there? But... does madness not remain a source of human suffering and creativity anyway?
