Used drugs like alcohol, heroin, cocaine, opium, marijuana, which used to all be legal!. Patent medicines were full of cocaine, I think it was!.
Also, depression was probably less common most of the time, despite many stressors such as unexpected deaths of family members who were still young!. (death of child makes it 5x more likely a person will suffer mental illness so bad they need to be in the hospital)!. People used to have better social supports and did not have to suffer such losses alone!. Others understood!. There were close friends and relatives to talk to!.
I think also that many people had "accidents!." Or just suffered very much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
