Founded in 1883 by James C. Hawthorne, the Oregon State Hospital previously referred to as The Oregon State Insane Asylum has contributed to the success of present day society’s perception of mental health.

Another problem that needed revision was aftercare.

Trying to find if there is any connection between microbes and MS two mechanisms have been proposed for discussion; the hygiene hypothesis and the prevalence hypothesis. The prevalence hypothesis has not received much support as much as the hygiene hypothesis; the hygiene hypothesis supports that exposure to certain infectious agents early in life is protective with the disease being a response to a late encounter with such agents. The prevalence hypothesis believes that the disease is due to an infectious agent more common in regions where MS is prevalent and where in most individuals it causes an ongoing infection without symptoms. After many years and only in a few cases it causes demyelination. Oligoclonal bands in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid in the higher percentage of patients, the association of several viruses with human demyelination encephalomyelitis, and finally the occurrence of demyelination in animals, include evidence for a virus as a triggering agent.
