Ebook Disorders Of The Brain

Mental illness has been recognized in people dating back to days of Ancient Greece and
Rome. A number of disturbances that were described included feelings of melancholy,
hysteria and phobias. The concept that mental illness must be related to biology was
first considered by Hippocrates. While at this time serious conditions such as
schizophrenia were not yet recognized, the thought that these conditions were related
to the brain was there.
As time passed, several psychiatric theories developed and even crude treatments were
developed to treat individuals. Many of these treatments and theories for mental illness
were developed by Islamic medicine in the Middle East.
