In the 20's and 30's the culture was very different. Having a mentally infirm person in your family was a disgrace, and a secret. No one talked about it, and the ill person wasn't seen or heard of. They didn't work, there was no work available. If the family was in a position to keep the mentally ill person concealed and away from public view, than they did their best.. otherwise they were put into institutitions.

I believe the only work worthwhile doing was to focus on getting better and to live in the society with respect.

None.
It was a very different job culture.
