Abstract: This study reflects on mental illness in selected printed sources by Jakub Fischer, who was the head of the psychiatric department at the Regional Hospital in Bratislava (now the University Hospital on Miczkiewiczova Street). This hospital was one of the first psychiatric facilities in what is now Slovakia. The study describes the approach and functioning of this department, which was one of the pioneering medical institutions in the territory of the then Hungary, based on chosen sources. These sources also provide an insight into mental health and related issues in the period before the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
