How did people deal/understand with depression before it was even called depression?
In: Other
They’d call the person ‘melancholic’ or ‘sickly’ or ‘reclusive’ – and in a lot of cases I think the person dealt with the problem through alcohol, opiates or suicide. And they probably got shamed/threatened/beaten into doing some kind of work, no matter how lousy they were feeling.
