Research Blog Post

In this world there are my different topics that could peak your interest. But out of every project you've done can you relate it back home to you? Well I found a project that relates to my grandmother and my aunt. They both worked back in the time around electro shock therapy. And yes my grandmother was the person who would hold them as the doctor placed a metal piece on each side of their head and turned up the dial. Some people would die during this, yet many survived. The "cure" for insanity used to be with pain and old medicine. And now I think we've realized that you can't cure insanity you can only tame it. I hope that can learn more about this topic and be able to relate it back to my grandmother. And hopefully find out the causes for being locked up, and put in a place full of pain and misery. And so I can actually see how long it took to end the use of electro shock therapy. And while I look back in time and figure out why people did this hopefully I can see how it impacted them. And I hope that I can figure out why my grandmother quit this job full of horror.
