List of reasons for admission to an insane asylum from the late 1800s |  Dangerous Minds

I think it's obvious what most of you will be in here for...Yes, that's right, stop reading those damned novels this instant!

Religion I'd keep on the list. I note they have 'Imaginary Women Troubles', 'Women Troubles' and 'Female Disease' so the females are pretty much screwed whatever, especially when coupled with with domestic abuse and your husband leaving you.

As for 'Deranged Masturbation' - not sure what would qualify here!

Is tobacco and masturbation two separate afflictions do you think or someone doing a Clinton on themselves?

Salvation Army 🙂

Seems a bit harsh, but then again, totally fair.

And I like that they have both masturbation, and suppressed masturbation. I wonder if there is an approved level of masturbation that is unlikely to have you declared insane?

Worryingly, I think I may have felt that at times.

They should replace ‘novel reading’ with ‘social media reading’ 😉
