The record of history is clear. Before 1775 AD, church ministers were seen as the best source of "professional help" with all troubles of life including insanity.

The minister would ride his horse over to the house of the insane and provide counsel (talking cures) without ever removing the person from his home environment. There was no coerced treatment and the insane were never forcibly confined in an asylum away from his home.

Downame clearly understood that anger had its origin in the mind, but that it affected both mind and body. This was true. The Bible says that sin will make you sick.

He goes on to advice that the cure is through keeping your mind calm with gentle thoughts: "It is not therefore a furious combat with melancholy thoughts, which will but weaken and sink the body, and to make the case worse, but a gentle application of such comfortable things as restore the strength, and recruit the languishing spirit that must quash and disperse these disorderly tumults in the head."

Rush suffers from "scholastic schizophrenia" because he devotes an entire section to, "The causes which induce intellectual derangement, by acting upon the body through the medium of the mind". From an etiological viewpoint, it is clear that Rush believed that the human spirit through emotion, feelings and guilt for sin actually "induced" insanity. So in one breath he says insanity is caused by blood vessels and in the other the human spirit. The only way to cure Rush of his "scholastic schizophrenia" is to suggest that the human spirit affected the blood vessels in the brain, which then caused madness.

But in place of the castle or convent we see in the typical Gothic novel, Annilia's uncle incarcerates her in a private madhouse, and this prison is just as psychologically terrifying as any of the supernatural horrors in the castles created by Radcliffe and her followers. Annilia's prison is also haunted, but it is haunted with the sounds of madness: "The rattling of Chains, the Shrieks of those severely treated by their barbarous Keepers, mingled with Curses, Oaths, and the most blasphemous Imprecations, did from one quarter of the House shock her tormented Ears; while from another, Howlings like that of Dogs, ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/the-distressd-orphan-love-in-a-mad-house-eliza-haywood-1726ad.htm | Size: 20K Depth: 3 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |

As such, he took the view that Hypochondriasis (depression) was induced by melancholy blood clogging the spleen. "To call the hypochondriasis a fanciful malady, is ignorant and cruel. It is a real, and a sad disease: an obstruction of the spleen by thickened and distempered blood; extending itself often to the liver, and other parts ... this obstruction in the spleen is the true malady" Others viewed the causes as, air, diet, lack of sufficient sleep, too little or too much exercise, constipation, emotions. Hill's primary etiology of a clogged spleen was inactivity of mind and body and a sedentary lifestyle. He targets intellectuals that sat around reading and writing as most at risk: "Fatigue of mind, and great exertion of its powers often give birth to this disease; and always tend to increase it.

Insanity is not Demon possession! more In 1775 AD, Hugh Farmer, church minister, correctly taught that demon possession never caused insanity. Farmer would not "ascribe madness and epileptic fits to possession, rather than other disorders". The Bible does teach demon possession during the apostolic age, but oddly, he Farmer did not believe the devil or demons even existed. Instead he explained the Devil and demons to be caused by physical diseases like epilepsy or flu viruses. Farmer said, "the New Testament doth not countenance the doctrine of real possessions." Demon possession is real in the New Testament and is always accompanied by supernatural powers and knowledge. It was impossible for demon possessed men to be bound with even chains. They also knew things normal humans did not know. People in need of the N1H1 flue vaccine or epileptics never exhibit supernatural power and knowledge.

Most important is that both Helmont and Blair viewed the cause of insanity to be spiritual choices of men rather than bodily diseases. For this reason, water torture was an effective way of convincing the mad man to stop his insane behaviour. Blair and Helmont boast that this method indeed cured the insane!

He quotes a woman who visited an asylum for the first time: "Oh, I should go mad here if I were not so when I came. Why can't some one move the furniture about and make it look less sepulchral."

Nevertheless the writings of philosophers prepared a body of psychological knowledge which was of great value when in the nineteenth century physicians started to take an active interest in their patients' minds. For this reason men like Hutcheson who stimulated a long line of Scottish philosophers of the 'Common Sense' school [see Reid, Gregory, Stewart, Brown] have a place in the development of psychiatric thought.

From his opening dedication to Lady Mary Lane, through the preface of advice `to the Relations and Friends of Melancholly People', and throughout its 31 chapters, the context and explanation for suffering is humankind's fall from paradise and consequent distance from the grace of God, an awareness that is present behind even some of the apparently less religious accounts of melancholy that follow from the eighteenth century.

These primary disorders could occur in pure or mixed forms. Because 'propensities . . . are so nearly allied to passions and emotions' Prichard combined 'disorders of affection or feeling' with 'those of the active powers or propensities' under one head to which he gave 'the designation of Moral Insanity'. As a synonymous `single compound epithet' he suggested Tathomania, in coincidence with the Monomania of M. Esquirol'.
