I was listening to a piece about the eugenics movement in the US and how they used to send any "undesirables" to the sanitarium, and one of the most often sent cases were "epileptics" (though often unproven, it was an easy thing to say someone was to get them sent away. that and "feebleminded"). And I just got to thinking, I am so damn lucky to have been born in the time and place where something like epilepsy was not an automatic trip to the asylum and treated with shock therapy or forced sterilization or anything along those lines. I didn't have a great time with the seizures, but at least I was treated medically and able to go to school and live my life.

I am also white, grew up with both my parents and extended family. While we were poor, I never went hungry and always had a roof over my head and clothes on my back.

I suppose the "lost it" part would be the medical conditions, physical and mental disabilities, and being queer and poor.
