Abstract
Bipolar disorders have a long history. Depression and mania are mankind’s oldest known mental disorders, and they were the first mental disorders conceptualised by Hippocrates as a part of medicine. Mania and depression as part of one and the same disease—what we today call bipolar disorder—was first described by the famous Greek physician of the first century AD, Aretaeus of Cappadocia.
