MADNESS

Step inside a vintage classroom lesson on “Madness”—an early educational film that explores how society once defined and explained mental illness. Created during a time when psychology and psychiatry were becoming more widely taught, the film reflects the language, attitudes, and medical understanding of its era.

While many of its terms and explanations are outdated today, the film is an important historical artifact. It shows how teachers, doctors, and students were first introduced to the study of mental health, and how cultural views of “madness” shaped the conversation.
