Phrenitis and the Pathology of the Mind in Western Medical Thought
(Fifth Century BCE to Twentieth Century CE)
From an archaic, unfamiliar and Greek-sounding disease described by the Hippocratics, 'phrenitis', to meningitis, stress syndrome and delirium: this book takes the reader on a journey through key phases of Western ideas about human physiology and mental health and reflects on loss and survival in the history of disease.
