What was life like for people with mental illness in the 1930s?
Not good. The science of psychology was still young and the understanding of the brain was far from what it is today. Freud was the leading expert in this time and he approached mental illness as a medical doctor would . People were often locked into huge mental wards for years and cures were a varied forms of torture. The idea that there could be a mind/ body relationship with chemical imbalances is a modern idea as well.

What factors contributed to the social unrest of the 1930s and 1940s?
Europe and the United States all experienced social unrest in the 1930's and 1940's.

In Europe, the US depression, trickled on to that part of the world as well. Also, especially in Europe, political stress caused by Germany, the civil war in Spain and other factors were a source of social unrest.
In the 1940's, the Second World War, occupied the attention of the world. No one really wanted a war that would destroy lives and property. Despite the fact that the victorious nations of that war had succeeded, much of Europe has been economically demolished.
Yes, of course spirits were high in the Allied nations because of their victories, the Axis Powers were in a period of social unrest. After the war came the recovery of the late 1940's. However, political problems with the West and the Soviet Union, did much to either induce patriotism or inflict more social unrest.
