The 19th and early 20th centuries were marked by significant developments in mental healthservices. The establishment of psychiatric hospitals became widespread, aiming to provide carein a more structured setting. However, these institutions often became overcrowded and werecriticized for their harsh conditions. The early 20th century also saw the rise of psychoanalysis,pioneered by Sigmund Freud. Psychoanalysis offered a novel approach to understandingmental disorders through exploring unconscious thoughts and early childhood experiences.
