Description
During the 1950s and 1960s, Chlorpromazine, commonly known as Thorazine, was widely used as the first anti-psychotic drug. Its sedative purposes substituted the labotomy and various shock therapies, but ironically brought on unpleasant side-effects such as involuntary spasms, constipation, leukopenia, vertigo, akathisia, and life-threatening neuroleptic malignant syndrome.As a result, many patients undergoing drug therapy developed neurological problems and anxieties that they never had before. It is still used today.
Day Room and Nurse's Station, Cottage 40.

Great light in this place ! My minor complaints: the top of the chair is aligned with the line of the bank and I have some doubts about the window on the left (even if I understand that you have wanted to keep the whole bank in your composition).
