Confinement: a way to remove the person from society. 1800s: this model of care had come under fire for being harmful, electroconvulsive therapy, surgical lobotomy and even more radical intrusions. 1970s-1980s: saw the rise of a new wave of psychopharmacology that allowed people to be treated on an outpatient basis. 1981: 3. 2 million prescriptions for anti-depression in canada. 2000: 14. 5 million prescriptions for anti-depression in canada.
