@britneyzzshadow1716 How do you figure that?

As a mental patient I disagree. I would much rather be alive now. Mental health still sucks but it is better than back then. I was in the state hospital in my state and private institutions. I was never served rotten meat, I never had ice water thrown on me and we did not sit on hard benches for more than 8 hours a day. I was allowed to read. We played sports etc. I wouldn't advise going to those places but they have improved.

No Nellie Bly didn't do that. Deinstitutionalization was decades after her death. She helped get extra funds to improve the institutions. They didn't empty them out in her time.That was way later and had nothing to do with her.

Nelly Bly died in 1922. Deinstitutionalization of mental hospitals started in 1955 with the introduction of antipsychotic medications and got a lot worse 10 years later.
