【Mental illness can be divided into three broad categories:】

【The first category is mental illness, which is due to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, delusional disorder, affective mental illness, physical illness and other concurrent mental illness, including restless neurosis (phobia neurosis) or obsessive-compulsive neurosis, hysteria, depression, etc. neurosis】

【The second is drug addiction or personality disorders involving alcoholism】

【The third type is personality abnormalities, personality biases, etc. that are not primarily caused by mental illness or other diseases.】

【History of Psychiatry:】

【In ancient times, in the 5th century BC, people at that time believed that mentally ill patients, especially those with hereditary mental illness, had innate supernatural abilities.】

【This concept still continued in ancient Greece and Rome】

【In the history of Western psychiatry, early records of mental disorders were written in Greek.】

【In the 4th century BC, Hippocrates believed that mental illnesses, like other physical illnesses, were caused by natural factors and required medical treatment.】

【He proposed that mental disorders may originate from physiological abnormalities.】

【However, this concept was not further explored due to the decline of the Roman Empire.】

【Therefore, in the dark ages of the Middle Ages, religious leaders and others were influenced by religion and believed that insanity was a phenomenon of demonic possession and attempted to exorcise it.】

【So they will use all kinds of cruel and barbaric methods to"cure" the patients. For example, sometimes they will burn the patients with fire, beat them with sticks, or burn their foreheads with red-roasted iron rods, in order to restore their sanity. , some even make a small hole in the patient's head, hoping to release the dirty air and heal the patient.】

【After being unable to do anything, they had no choice but to lock the patient in a sanatorium for a long time and chain him up.】

【This can also be regarded as the dark age of psychiatry. It was not until the 16th century that we bid farewell to the idea of ​​witches and demons since the Middle Ages.】

【In 705 AD, the first mental hospital was built in Baghdad, followed by a mental hospital in Fes in the early 8th century, and by 800 AD, a mental hospital was also built in Cairo】

【Unlike Christian physicians in the Middle Ages, Islamic physicians did not regard mental illness as possession by evil spirits. Instead, they treated patients through the experience of clinical psychology.】

"Psychiatry?"

"We have it here, too. I remember that when children were infected with strange things, they would go to a magical old woman to exorcise the evil spirits, or else they would go to temples and Taoist temples."

"It should mean the same thing"

"Look clearly! Our Chinese treatment methods are not recorded and do not count."

"It’s true, hiss~ Foreigners are so cruel in treating mental illness!"

"It's so scary. Is that exorcism? He was obviously taking the opportunity to torture people for fun!! ?"

"Poor people, maybe not sick at all, are being tortured by a group of mediocre people who don't understand medical skills!"

"..."

They were absolutely furious.

They really have no experience in treating mental illness.

But when encountering such a patient, the most you can do is to prescribe some Chinese medicine to soothe the nerves and aid sleep, and tell him to get more rest.

Where can I, as mentioned in the light curtain, use a red-hot iron rod to burn the patient's forehead, or even make a hole in the top of his head!!!

This is not treating a disease, it is clearly inflicting torture!

Eastern Han Dynasty.

Seeing the treatment methods for mental illness at this moment, he couldn't bear to watch.[]

It's no different than destroying life.

Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and made up his mind to continue watching.

If he could understand".psychiatric medicine", many people would be less likely to die from this cruel treatment method.

This may be the benevolence of doctors (Li Mo Zhao).

Hua Tuo stopped on his way to see Cao Cao.

He looked up at the sky. sigh

"Alas, this is not treating a disease. The wind saliva in the Prime Minister's head may be cured by opening a hole in the top of his head."

"Can you be mentally exhausted?"

"This thing cannot be seen or touched, how can it be found in the head."

Hua Tuo was really speechless. How can foreigners know any medical skills?
