A lot of those upper middle class white housewives were hopped up on mommy's little helpers and beer half the time.

Absolutely accurate.

This is a sentiment that you see a lot and I'm never sure how to feel about it, because I don't totally get why there's such a big difference between those things and the use of modern antidepressants and other psychiatric medication that we accept as commonplace and good.

Really? You really can't see the difference between medication as a panacea for non-compliance to an idealistic gender standard and medication which is supposed to specifically apply to a specific ailment so that you can learn other techniques?

It's the difference between going to the doctor and getting amphetamines no matter why you say you can't go to work, and going to the doctor and getting a splint for a broken leg, but aspirin for a headache.

My understanding had been that this would have been a standard for treatment of mental health issues during the period in general? That that's just what the state of the art for mental health treatment, for treatment of depression for instance, was at the time.

[meadowphoenix]

If you mean, mental health standards were wildly misogynistic then yes. If you mean, similar actions or feelings by unhappy people were treated equally as symptoms and intensities of depression and given similar treatment no matter the gender, then no. Regardless, it's a bit different than the state of psychiatry today.

Seriously? What about the not-so-great consequences that longterm drugs and alcohol abuse has on your health? You're saying that me taking anxiety medication and talking to my doctor about the side effects is the same coping mechanism as me downing a bottle of wine every night?

[(Anonymous)]

They were not. They drank gin, not beer.
