I'm looking for resources that would describe treament of depression over the past 400 or 500 years
I am looking to write a short story that includes several fictional journal entries throughout history that chronicle the experiences of several women and the social conditions and treatments for their mental illnesses, so any resources or primary sources would be appreciated.
Some of the time periods that I'm thinking of doing:
The late 1600s, think Salem witch trials
The 1800s
The 1920s/1930s
The 1960s
Any information would be SO incredibly helpful. Thanks
Hello Amanda7,
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. I assume you have already wrote the story. But if you are still interested in the subject you might try reading The Yellow Wallpaper, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. It is a short story about a woman with depression who in the 1800's. I hope you enjoy it.
