People were often admitted to asylums for a variety of mental health conditions, including severe depression, schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorders. Additionally, individuals with behavioral issues, such as aggression or self-harm, as well as those experiencing psychotic episodes, were also common admissions. In earlier times, vague diagnoses like "hysteria" or "melancholia" could lead to asylum placement, often reflecting societal stigmas rather than clear medical conditions. Treatment approaches varied widely, and many patients faced inhumane conditions and practices.

Some people have nervous breakdowns and causes them to go mental, that is what the Lunatic Asylums are for. However, if you mean 'wierd', everyone is unique so nobody is normal, and nobody can be ab-normal or wierd. When people say normal they mean habits that occur in lots of people, with a bunch of people who do not do these things, or do other things are classed as 'wierd'. In the answer to your question, no, because if the whole human race were crazy, no-one would be crazy, as that would be the ordinary thing to be. However, a few people are crazy and are sent to Lunatic Asylums.

People living in poverty suffer more from diseases than richer people, since poor people cannot afford to go to the doctor or to buy the medicine needed to treat diseases.

No, concentration camps was where the Germans put the Jewish people and killed them, but mental hospitals are where people with mental illness go that can't live in normal society. Comparing them is an insult to all Jewish people and everyone who loved in the camps.
