| 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...

| 2: | Observations on Maniacal Disorders, William Pargeter, 1792 AD ...The maniac was locked in a room, raving and exceedingly turbulent. ... I then suddenly unlocked the door - rushed into the room and caught his eye in an instant. The business was then done - he became peaceable in a moment." Of course this proves that insanity is not some chemical imbalance in the brain where a person is unable to control themselves. Rather, the "madness" can be turned on and turned off at the will of the "madman". Benjamin Rush would adopt "catching the eye" as a treatment in 1812. (Observations on Maniacal Disorders, William Pargeter, 1792 AD) "During the second half of the eighteenth century following the wider experience of the insane afforded by the increasing number of private mad-houses as well as public 'lunatic hospitals' which opened at that time, it was gradually learnt that as Battie (1758) wrote 'management did much more than medicine' in the `cure of madness'. 'Management' meant humane treatment and reflected the spirit of philanthropy and awakened social ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/observations-on-maniacal-disorders-william-pargeter-1792ad.htm | Size: 18K Depth: 4 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |
| 3: | Sin was viewed as the cause (etiology) of mental illness Christian Reil suggested that the Cat Piano was the cure for insanity. 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. Doctors before the 19th century, knew less than a typical thirteen year old today, who dissected a few raccoons on his back yard picnic table and experimented with his chemistry set he got for Christmas!

| 4: | Psychiatry historic treatments vomits, bloodletting, cold baths ... Why did torture cure the insanity? Click to View see also: Humoral medicine Click to View Introduction: Insanity has always been characterized by the sins of anger, selfishness, rebellion, laziness, violence, assaults, lack of obedience and all the other things young children get spanked for by their mothers. When mother fails, its on to the judge and jailer. When all else fails, its off to the asylum, where they will finish what your mother started. Basically society provides three methods of teaching you to behave through spankings and time out: 1. your mother 2. the police 3. the asylum. 4. the church. Although this is a historic review of the past, nothing has really changed much even today in psychiatry. The modern methods are simply sanitized versions of what you will see practiced historically. These treatments were all methods of controlling, confining, punishing and forcing compliance with rules and general obedience. "We come next to mention the remedies that are proper to ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/psychiatry-historic-treatments-vomits-blood-letting-cold-baths-blistering-evacuation-purging.htm | Size: 112K Depth: 2 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |
| 5: | Medical Inquiries and Observations Upon the Diseases of the Mind ... ...Insanity caused by bloated brain blood vessels!" 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 |
