During the Period of Enlightenment, there was a focus on treating individuals with mental illness with more humane and compassionate care, meeting their basic needs, and treating them with dignity. Similarly, during the Period of Community Mental Health, there was a focus on community-based care and meeting the basic needs of individuals with mental illness to help them live more normal and fulfilling lives.
