Bedlam is a common name for a madhouse, and Bess is a national name for a woman, especially of the lower order. The male lunatic is a Tom o’ Bedlam. The Bethlem Royal Hospital is a lunatic hospital located in London. Although no longer based at its original location, it is recognized as the world’s first and oldest institution to specialize in mental illnesses. It has been variously known as St Mary Bethlehem, Bethlem Hospital, and from colloquial pronunciation, Bedlam. So, the word bedlam, meaning uproar and confusion, is derived from the hospital’s prior name. Although the hospital is now at the forefront of humane psychiatric treatment, for much of its history it was notorious for cruelty and inhumane treatment.
