Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: The treatment for melancholy often included stimulants. Excess excitability was often treated with bloodletting or emetics. Symptoms that were attributed to cerebral dysfunction or hereditary predisposition were not usually treated with bloodletting.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Patients with mental illness were often placed in chains as restraints. Stoning was frequently used as a punishment for adultery. Burning at the stake was a punishment for heresy and witchcraft. The Catholic Church distinguishes behavior that indicates the need for exorcism from behavior indicating mental illness.
