Sala autopsie Udine

epa03900343 (07/12) An abandoned autopsy theater inside Saint Elizabeth's Psychiatric Hospital offers a glimpse into mental health research in the 1940s, when the hospital housed some 8,000 patients, in Southeast Washington, DC, USA, 21 February 2013. Though Saint Elizabeth's was highly regarded at the time for its care, treatment still required institutionalization in what was often referred to as an 'insane asylum.' As psychiatric care has improved over the years, the number of exorcisms performed in the US has waned. Analysts of Roland Doe's case believe he likely suffered from a mental health issue such as schizophrenia or Tourette's Syndrome.
