It sounds crazy to us, but there was a time in history when people DID think these types of treatments helped, which is why they were so common. Women were put in asylums against their will for lots of trivial, nonsense reasons like being "promiscuous", "hysteria", going through menopause or just being more trouble than their families wanted to handle. Some of the commitments were likely spiteful. But keep in mind that the general medical consensus at the time had some nutty beliefs about what would help a woman who was depressed, etc.
