The 10 years from 1953 to 1963 changed psychiatry for ever..... in 1953 they had barbiturates and nothing else, by 1963, they had antipsychotics, tranquilizers, antidepressants, basicly all the tools of modern psychiatry.
We're lucky to live in the modern age when we have drugs to ease our misery, wether the pain is physical or mental.
