Dorothea Dix worked tirelessly to improve conditions for the mentally ill and to reform the treatment of individuals with mental health issues. She advocated for the establishment of dedicated mental hospitals and the humane treatment of patients, highlighting the inhumane conditions they faced in jails and asylums.
