straight jacket. Go back further and I think they bled them a little to let out what was causing the psychosis.

well my mother said that back then if you were committed to a hospital for insanity they had no cure or meds so you basically stayed locked up in a insane asylum for the rest of your life. now it is state law that you only stay 6 months and in some states they have to let you go I am not sure about all. my mother should know that answer she was born in 1922. good luck

Electric shock therapy, frontal lobe removal (also called lobotomy,) and various physical shock therapies like water immersion, temperature therapy (suffering through extreme cold and heat,) and probably some slightly more modern techniques like talk-therapy and psychoactive drugs.
