Abstract

The Straits Settlements, a collective colony under the administration of British Malaya, was a very unhealthy area in the early years of the nineteenth century. One of the most common sicknesses was mental illness, which could not be cured by medicines. The number of women suffering from mental illness was higher than in men, and it was found that there were many internal and external causes. The increasing number of women patients affected the role of mental hospitals, which were not only for treatment purposes, but also for business. This study will discuss the factors causing women to suffer from mental illness, and the role of the asylum for women mental patients in the nineteenth century.

海峡殖民地是英属马来亚管理下的一个集体殖民地,在十九世纪初是一个非常不健康的地区。最常见的疾病之一就是药物无法治愈的精神病。妇女患精神病的人数高于男子,而且发现有许多内部和外部原因。女性患者人数的增加影响了精神病院的作用,因为精神病院不仅是为了治疗,也是为了经营。本研究将讨论导致妇女罹患精神病的因素,以及 19 世纪女精神病人庇护所的作用。
