This particular mental illness has been with humankind ever since we climbed out of the primordial ooze that made us. It was first identified as a disease process by “Dr, Emile Kremlin,” in 1887. Written records of the disease can be found as far back as ancient Egypt. These were recorded in the ancient “Book of Hearts.” There was a time in our history where if you were considered abnormal in any way, you would be locked up away from everyone, and either chained to a wall or placed in a very small crate. In both places human excrement was not cleaned up and the whole place stunk. This was not very long ago, in the 1800s. Very good article that everyone should read.
