	Anxiety Zone - Psychiatric hospital
		The history of psychiatric hospitals is linked heavily with social and scientific attitudes towards mental health, and the attitudes of those afflicted with mental illness, both of which have changed greatly over the past centuries.
		The first known psychiatric hospital, Bethlem Royal Hospital (Bedlam) was founded in London in 1247 and by 1403 had begun accepting "lunatics." It soon became (in)famous for its harsh treatment of the insane, and in the 18th century would allow visitors to pay a penny to observe their patients as a form of freak show.
		For this reason, state hospital patients were usually from the lower class, as the mentally ill from families with money often had enough private care to avoid being labeled a public menace.

		Bethlem has always been a 'real' hospital, in the sense that patients were admitted in order to be cured, but in its early days, those who did not recover might stay for years.

		By the time the new hospital opened in 1930, the prospectus was referring to "accommodation for 141 ladies and 109 gentlemen, each of whom must be of suitable educational status".
