Madness in all its states

What is madness? Can one like Erasmus praise madness? Certainly not. Madness the real thing is terrible for those who live it and for those around them.We show that madness has always existed. We find examples of it in the earliest stories in all eras up to the present day. We look to see how she was apprehended. So we approach madness through mythology medicine theology philosophy law history social literature the press the arts psychiatry psychoanalysis and so on.As this is a modest book we rely on everyday life on little history anecdotes famous affairs. We see how madness is understood treated and cared for. We see that it is just around the corner.We also highlight some people who had the courage to want to treat her and to whom we pay tribute especially in the second half of the 20th century.
