| 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: | 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!

| 3: | The Anatomy Of Melancholy, Robert Burton, 1621 AD This is quite different from demon possession. "Many think he can worke upon the body, but not upon the minde. But experience pronounceth otherwise, that he can work both upon body and mind . . . He begins first with the phantasie, and moves that so strongly that no reason is able to resist. Now the Phantasie he moves by mediation of humors : Although many Physitians are of opinion that the Devil can alter the minde, and produce this disease of himselfe .. . Agrippa and Lavater are perswaded that this humour invites the Divell to it, wheresoever it is in extremity, and of all other Melancholy persons are most subject to diabolical temptations, and illusions, and most apt to entertain them and the Devil best able to work upon them." Burton further states that mental illness happens in family groups and is hereditary. He notes that it is not the physical body that transmits the disease, but the manner, personality, temperament of the mind. It is clear that through all ages mental illness ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/the-anatomy-of-melancholy-robert-burton-1621ad.htm | Size: 19K Depth: 5 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |
| 4: | The myth that Mental illness is caused by Genetics and bad DNA There is no scientific proof that Mental illness is caused by genetic deficiencies in DNA. Introduction: Chemical psychiatry has only two causes (etiologies) of mental illness: chemical imbalances and bad DNA. Their cure is always drugs. The chemical psychiatry industry and all mental health officials will tell you that mental illnesses can be traced down to the DNA level. They make it sound like they have seen the mental illness gene under a microscope! What they don't tell you, is that this is a theory and a guess! The reason they believe mental illness is caused by genetics is because they reject the spiritual side of man. They view man as a pile of chemicals and nothing more. This is called chemical psychiatry and it represents the 99.9% of all mental health theory. They theorize mental illness is caused by bad DNA because they have done social studies and noticed that mental illness runs in families. The problem with this is that many things unrelated to DNA run in families, like ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/psychiatry-mental-illness-genetics.htm | Size: 20K Depth: 6 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |
