Z Ward
Z Ward, located in South Australia, is a former psychiatric hospital that operated from 1885 to 1973. The hospital was known for its harsh treatment of patients, including the use of restraint and shock therapy.
Many patients were kept in the hospital for long periods of time, and some were never released. Today, the hospital is a popular tourist destination, with tours available to explore the abandoned buildings and learn about the history of mental health treatment in the area. Despite its dark past, Z Ward serves as a reminder of the progress that has been made in the field of psychiatry and the importance of treating patients with compassion and understanding.
