| Legislation Title | Legislation Type | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Mental Health Act 1959 | UK Public General Acts | 1. The Mental Health Act 1959 was the first parliamentary Act on mental health that started treating the subject more seriously. 2. This was the first legal move to treat mental health issues similarly to physical illness (or as close as possible). 3. It also removed promiscuity or other immoral conduct as grounds for detention. 4. However, although this act was a great first step, there were, unfortunately, grey areas that needed clarifying. 5. There was confusion whether a legal detaining order for a person gave the hospital power to treat them against their will. 6. Moving into the 1970’s, it was becoming more obvious that a specific legal framework was required regarding medical treatments for mental health, such as psychiatric medication, electro convulsion therapy, and psychotherapy. 7. Repealed the Lunacy and Mental Treatment Acts 1890 to 1930 and the Mental Deficiency Acts 1913 to 1938. 8. Repealed by the Mental Health Act 1983. |
