Long before depression was defined as a medical diagnosis, people were already describing a persistent heaviness that went beyond ordinary sadness.
In this episode of Before It Had a Name, we trace the history of depression from ancient ideas of melancholia and black bile to industrial-era “nervous exhaustion” and modern understandings of mood disorders. Across centuries, the experience remained strikingly consistent, even as explanations shifted between temperament, morality, environment, and biology.
When did sadness become something to diagnose? And how did changing ideas about the mind shape the way we understand depression today?
