Hippocrates viewed mental illness to be caused by the humors. Mania was understood to be caused by an excess of hot yellow bile, melancholy (or depression) was understood to be caused by an excess of sticky thick black bile, and schizophrenia was understood to be caused by an excess of cold mucous. Unlike earlier tribal or agrarian societies, Hippocrates believed that mental illness had physiological causes. People with mental illness were understood by Hippocrates to be suffering from an illness, rather than having exhibiting symptoms because they were being punished for something they had done or would do.
Hippocrates contributed to the understanding of mental illness by positing that these conditions were the result of natural causes rather than supernatural forces or moral failing. He believed that imbalances in bodily fluids, or "humors," such as blood, phlegm, and bile, could lead to mental disturbances. This marked a significant shift towards a more scientific and medical approach to understanding psychological conditions, laying the groundwork for future developments in psychiatry.
