How did people deal/understand with depression before it was even called depression?
In: Other
The struggle to survive generally took precedence over the struggle to feel good or even ok. People ran their lives on culture and principles and not on how they felt. The people who were so depressed as to be dysfunctional were sent to asylums without any correct diagnosis. I’ve known some old timers with issues and they generally just treated everyone like garbage because they never had any treatment. Or else they were reclusive alcoholics.
