In the 1840s, Dorothea Dix investigated the conditions in which mentally ill patients were living. She often found them in prisons, and they were treated like criminals. Dix worked to improve the conditions in which mentally ill patients lived, and she worked to get state governments to build mental hospitals.
In general in the U.S. religious groups (e.g. Quakers) tended them in private facilities where they were assigned daily tasks to keep them busy. This worked very well, except for a few violent persons that needed to be restrained.
In the early 1800s, many poor mentally ill patients lived in almshouses or poorhouses. These were institutions established by local governments to provide housing and basic care for the impoverished, including those with mental illnesses. Unfortunately, conditions in these facilities were often overcrowded, unsanitary, and lacking in proper medical treatment for mental illness. It wasn't until later in the 19th century that the first mental asylums were established to provide more specialized care for individuals with mental health conditions.
As many of the diagnoses of "DID syndrome" come from US, many believe this comes from poor therapists suggesting this to susceptible patients!
They are directly related. A person with good social health tends to have better mental health than those with poor social health. Being around friends frequently tends to keep people happier and healthier (mentally and physically). This is not a law written in stone and there are many mentally healthy people with poor social health and many mentally ill people with good social health.
