Before in Indonesia Psychiatric Hospital available, the people who suffer from mental disorders accommodated in civilian hospitals or military hospitals in Jakarta, Semarang, and Surabaya. Accommodated patients were severe in general. However, mental hospital capacity provided was not enough. In 1862 the Dutch Government held a census of people with mental disorders in Java and Madura; the result was approximately 600 people with mental disorders in Java and Madura, another 200 people in other areas. For the authorities at that time, such circumstances were sufficient reason to build a Mental Asylum. So on July 1st, 1882, the first mental hospital built in Bogor and then Lawang Mental Hospital (June 23rd, 1902), Magelang Hospital (1923) and Sabang Hospital (1927), successively. These hospitals were classified as big hospitals and accommodating people with chronic mental disorders that require long treatment.

Netherlands Indies government recognize 4 types of psychiatric patient care, namely:

1. Mental Hospital (krazinnigengesticten)

in bogor, Magelang, Lawang, and Sabang, mental hospital is always full, resulting in accumulation of patients in the hospital temporarily, while the police detention and prison. Then constructed "annexinrichtingen" the hospital soul existing as Samplak (Bogor) in 1931 and Pasuruan (near Lawang) in 1932.

4. Colony
The relocation of psychiatric patients had calmed down, patients can work in agriculture and live in houses, given the host's rent, and still under supervision

These houses built far from the city and the general public. treatment is the isolation and preservation (Custodial care). The basic theory is now no longer held:

1. Patients should be out of the house and neighborhood that caused him pain, therefore it must be treated somewhere quiet, so accustomed to the hospital atmosphere.

2. avoid the stigma (which is not good seal)

In 1950 the government of Indonesia carried out assigned important things for holding and promotion of mental health in Indonesia. This bureau was under the Department of Health; in 1958, turned into Affairs Mental Disorder; 1960 became part of Mental Health, and in 1966 became the Directorate of Mental Health who until now headed by the Mental Health Director or Head of Mental Health Directorate.

Mental Health Directorate improved organizational structure to be Affair Office, which turned into Sub-Directorate of Improvement (Promotion), Sub-Directorate of services and Recovery, Sub-Directorate of Rehabilitation, and Sub-Directorate of Program Development.

With the stipulation of Mental Health Law (UU)No. 3/ 1966 by the government, it is more open to collect all the potential to gradually carry out modernization of all system hospitals and mental health facilities in Indonesia. Mental Health Directorate held in cooperation with various government agencies and with the faculty of medicine, international agencies, national and Asia regional seminars and work meetings of national and regional, the existence of reporting systems development, establishing PPDGJ I in 1973, and publishing and regrating health services in Puskesmas (Local Governmental Clinic) in 1975.
