Hysteria and Nuerosis i belive were considered back then to what we today call "anxiety".
Luminal (phenobarbital) was maybe a main choice medication, since it didnt have hypnotic properties like the rest. Amytal (amobarbital) may have been used too.
I was just wondering how they coped with it. Especially during WWII, worried mothers and wives.
Anyways, i dont know why shock treatment was even a idea.
