Before then, patients with mental illnesses were often kept chained in jails and attics of homes. According to records, of the 1,376 patients admitted between 1855 and 1877, more than one in five died. After the US Civil War the facility expanded dramatically, eventually housing about 6,000 patients during its peak. The first coffins were discovered by the university in 2013 while constructing a road near campus. In 2014 officials found more than 1,000 coffins while building a parking garage. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39849068 "People Who experience mood swings, fear, voices and visions" ------------------------------ End of IRIS Digest - 6 May 2017 to 9 May 2017 (#2017-17) ********************************************************
