However, the people so called the hospital for mentally ill behalf of St. Mary of Bethlehem. It appeared in London in 1547. Since then bedlam is a name that applies to any mental hospital (asylum). Later, the meaning of the word became more extensive and today it means any very noisy and disorderly place.
Bedlam is confusion and chaos.You will not make a mistake by applying the word in this context. Bedlam can often be called an uncleaned room or a room in which objects are located very chaotically, or even scattered across the floor. In another case, we can say that bedlam is directly connected with very noisy institutions, even if all the objects in it are sufficiently ordered.
