Mental Health Issues in the 19th Century – Diagnosis and Treatment
Jefferson County Genealogical Society (JCGS) has invited Janice Lovelace, PhD, psychologist and professional genealogist, to present a program “Mental Health Issues in the 19th Century – Diagnosis and Treatment” on Saturday, May 19, 9:30 am to 11:00 am, at the Tri-Area Community Center, 10 West Valley Rd, Chimacum. During family research, finding an ancestor in an asylum or enumerated in a census as imbecile or incompetent is not uncommon for we know that one person in ten has mental health issues. Did soldiers of that era suffer PTSD? Come learn about mental health and it’s treatment in the 1800s. Monthly meetings of JCGS are open to the public and are free of charge. Donations are appreciated. Visit our website <www.wajcgs.org>.
