‘… There still exists in general hospital circles an emotional, traditional prejudice against a patient with any form of mental upset. All sympathy and desire to help seem to vanish. Nothing but irritation and an impatient desire to discharge the patient … exists.’ Anon. ‘Mens Sana’, Medical Press (1940) 203: 419-20
