In this WILD episode of History Hyenas, Chris Distefano and Yannis Pappas go deep into the dark, bizarre, and absolutely unhinged history of insane asylums and the early "treatments" for mental illness.
From 18th-century "bedlams" where tourists paid a penny to gawk at patients, to bloodletting, ice baths, insulin shock therapy, and the infamous lobotomy—the boys break down how humanity attempted to treat the mind before modern medicine. It's a wild ride through medical history, bad science, and classic Hyena chaos!
