Exploring an Abandoned Psychiatric Center.....EVERYTHING LEFT BEHIND & SHOCKING SURPRISES!!!

#Asylum #PsychiatricHospital #AbandonedNewYork Middletown State Homeopathic Hospital was a hospital for the treatment of mental disorders located in Middletown, New York, and opened on April 20, 1874. It was the first purely homeopathic hospital for mental disorders in the United States. The hospital employed a number of new techniques for the treatment of mental disorders, most notably the use of baseball as a therapy. The hospital opened in 1874 with 69 patients. Henry Reed Stiles became the second superintendent of the hospital in 1875 and introduced strict dietary regimens. From 1877 until 1902, Dr. Seldon H. Talcott was the superintendent and developed a series of occupational therapy for all patients at Middletown. His treatment included art exhibitions, an institutional newsletter written by the patients (The Conglomerate), and athletics. The number of buildings and the number of patients grew reaching over 100 buildings and 2,250 people in the early 1900s and 3,686 in the 1960s. In 1901, Ralph Albert Blakelock became a patient at the hospital where he continued painting his landscapes. The services shifted primarily to outpatient therapy and numbers decreased. The institution permanently closed in 2006. Shout Out to Mike at Good Day For Decay! Check out his amazing channel...    / @gooddayfordecay   A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR PATREON SUPPORTERS...
