Excerpt from Memorial Soliciting a State Hospital for the Protection and Cure of the Insane: Submitted to the General Assembly of North Carolina; November, 1848
Since I was in Rowan, an insane man, possessed of a moderate fortune has been committed to the jail I will not attempt to depict his sufferings in the dismal dungeon into which he has been cast.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a passionate appeal for compassionate care and the establishment of a dedicated state-run facility for the treatment of North Carolina's mentally ill population. The author, a physician specializing in the treatment of mental illness, presents a comprehensive overview of the historical and contemporary state of mental healthcare in the region. Drawing upon extensive research, the author paints a vivid picture of the deplorable conditions in which the mentally ill are housed and treated, and argues that these conditions are not only inhumane but also exacerbate the illnesses of those confined. Compelling case studies illustrate both the tragic consequences of neglect and the remarkable recoveries that are possible with timely intervention and proper treatment. By raising awareness of this pressing issue, this book aims to catalyze meaningful change in mental healthcare policy and practice, advocating for a society where those suffering from mental illness are treated with dignity and given the opportunity to heal and thrive.
