Psychiatry

Treatment of people with mental problems, is not easy to understand. The word Psyche comes from Ancient Greek, for soul or butterfly. Wicked init? Ancient Greeks must have had few  hilarious conversations with this word...like "Man's soul flew to the heavans". "How many butterflies did he have?"

Now be serious and see what this psychiatry means huh? In the western civilisation (Greek, Roman)the so called psychotic people were supposed to have had this problem originated from supernatural.

In the 4th century BCE, Hippocrates theorized that physiological abnormalities may be the root of mental disorders.Religious leaders often turned to versions of exorcism to treat mental disorders often utilizing cruel and barbaric methods.[1]
 

According to old texts Indians were far more advanced in treatments for mental disorders. But they also started thinking that the problems were supernatural at the start, as in the ancient Indian scripture, Atharva-Veda. Ramayana and the Mahabharata has incidences of various disorders and how to cope with them.

Then in the 3rd and 4th century AD a guy called Sushruta, an Indian doctyor published a book called Sushrata Samhita.

The Sushruta Samhita contains 184 chapters and description of 1120 illnesses, 700 medicinal plants, a detailed study on Anatomy, 64 preparations from mineral sources and 57 preparations based on animal sources. It is the main reference book for ayurvedic surgeons. Sushshruta is considered as a great surgeon of ancient times.[2]

The diagnostic system based on four; cause (nidana), premonitary indications (purva-rupa), symptoms (rupa), therapeutic tests (upashaya)  and natural history of the developement of the disease ( samprapti).  the physician (chikitshak), The drug (dravya), the attendants or the nursing personal (upasthata) and the patient (rogi) are the four pillars on which the success of the therapy. Sushrata's manuscripts were translated to Arabic in the 8th century and infiltrated into Europe gradually.  He even wrote about plastic surgery.

Khalid Mashal

Now this person is not someone I have come across in the news that much. But it does not mean he is not important as people who struggle to find a way to make his own kith and kin escape the wrath of powerful nations in the world. Respect. My man has gone through the mill. Salute.

Wikipedia as usual piece of info  read thus;

Khaled Mashal was born in the village of Silwad, north of Ramallah, then ruled by Jordan. Mashal attended Silwad Elementary School until the 1967 Six-Day War and the occupation of the West Bank by Israel. His father moved the family to Kuwait afterward for financial reasons. Mashal holds a bachelor of science degree in Physics from Kuwait University. Mashal joined the Muslim Brotherhood in 1971.

While at Kuwait University, Mashal headed the Islamic Justice (qa’imat al-haq al-islamiyya) list in the General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS) elections in 1977. The basis for the Islamic Justice list was the Palestinian Islamic movement, as part of the Muslim Brotherhood. After the cancellation of the GUPS elections, Mashal established the Islamic League for Palestinian Students (al-rabita al-islamiyya li talabat filastin) in 1980.[2] Mashal taught in the Kuwait schools from 1978 to 1984. He was married in 1980 and is the father of three daughters and four sons.

In 1983, the Palestinian Islamic movement convened an internal, closed conference in an Arab state. It included delegates from the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Palestinian refugees from the Arab states. It was an important milestone as it laid the foundation for the creation of Hamas. Mashal was part of the leadership of the project to build a Palestinian Islamic movement from its inception, after 1984 Mashal devoted himself to the project on a full-time basis. During this period Mashal remained in Kuwait.

Mashal lived in Kuwait until the 1991 Gulf War. When Iraq invaded Kuwait, Mashal moved to Jordan and began working directly with Hamas. He has been a member of Hamas' Political Bureau since its inception and became its chairman in 1996.

And then about the fact that he did go through death experience thanks to the Zionist. Look boss I do not have any problem with the Jewish nation. Wish them luck. But I have a problem of understanding the policies of the Jewish Zionist block. Cool sire, you can call me anti zionisyt. At the momemt of my thinking I have no problems with that. Anyway read the rest here.
