Original Note:
The widespread use of antipsychotic medications, notably chlorpromazine in the 1950s, made it possible to manage severe mental illness outside of institutional settings. The Community Mental Health Act of 1963 shifted care from large hospitals to community-based settings. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/asylums/special/excerpt.html https://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/article/deinstitutionalization-people-mental-illness-causes-and-consequences/2013-10
