| 1: | Historical overview of Psychiatry: 1550 BC - 2010 AD
Egyptians wrote a book of medicine. It is likely a copy of a much older book, but it is quite fascinating to realize just how much the ancients knew about the human body and various diseases. While the cures were no better than a witches brew with "eye of newt", they did understand the various diseases. The only reference to anything coming close to psychiatry is in the section on the heart where anger and sadness are discussed. Biopsychiatrists love to quote the papyrus as proof that the Egyptians believed depression was caused by bodily diseases. But this is simply untrue. In fact the opposite is true. The Egyptians understood that anger and sadness caused body diseases in the heart. The papyrus reads: "When his Heart is afflicted and has tasted sadness, behold his Heart is closed in and darkness is in his body because of anger which is eating up his Heart." (The Egyptian Medical Ebers Papyrus: 1550 BC) Jumping forward 3000 years...

It worked by seating the insane in front of the Cat Piano, as someone played, sanity would be restored. Reil suggested this clever and imaginative hyperbole, in order to drive home his point, that insanity was a spiritual problem not a bodily problem.

Click to View Click to View Click to View See also: History of Psychiatry homepage Introduction: In 1812 AD, Benjamin Rush, a doctor known as the "father of modern psychiatry", believed that madness was caused by blood vessels in the brain and cured it by threatening to kill the insane if they did not cure themselves! 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. Of course his ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/medical-inquiries-and-observations-upon-the-diseases-of-the-mind-benjamin-rush-1812ad.htm | Size: 163K Depth: 3 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |

(Seats And Causes Of Diseases Investigated By Anatomy, Giovanni Battista Morgagni, 1761 AD) "Morgagni was the first who systematically correlated clinical manifestations and course of illness with anatomically accurate postmortem findings. His monumental collection of over 700 cases of diseases of all kinds presented by this combined approach laid the basis of scientific medicine and made him the founder of morbid or pathological anatomy. Book I on 'disorders of the head' contains chapters on 'apoplexy', `phrenitis', 'epilepsy', 'paralysis', 'hydrocephalus', and one on 'madness, melancholy, and hydrophobia' from which the extracts are taken. Before Morgagni's time insanity was attributed to many accidental and ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/seats-and-causes-of-diseases-investigated-by-anatomy-giovanni-battista-morgagni-1769ad.htm | Size: 15K Depth: 4 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |
