Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the mid 1700s, restraints were commonly used to control the behavior of mentally ill patients. These restraints could include straightjackets, shackles, and even cages. Other forms of treatment, such as pills and leeching, were also used, but restraints were a widely accepted method of managing patients who were considered dangerous or unmanageable. Shock therapy was not yet developed during this time period.
