They put someone like Lisa in a hospital in the 60's?


Hard to believe. Not seeing much mental illness in her compared to the others.

She's manipulative, rude, cruel, enjoys getting high and is promiscuous/bisexual but that seems pretty normal these days. Not a nice person no question, but to land in a mental institution for that pattern of behavior? lol. The 1960's definition of normal was strict.

Back then they also considered homosexuality a mental illness and would commit people for that as well 😕
