Abstract: (864 Views)
Introduction: Melancholia in Iranian medicine is the name of a disease that was described by most of the physicians of the Islamic period. These physicians have classified melancholia as a brain disease. Most of the physicians of this period considered melancholia as a cause of Black bile in which thoughts and opinions change from their natural path towards corruption and fear.
Methods: This research with the aim of examining the views and opinions of Seyyed Ismail Jurjani, a physician of the 5th-6th century AH/11th century, on the topic of what is the concept of melancholia. For this purpose, the authored books of Jurjani, which has given an explanation of melancholy, such as "Zakhireye Khwarazmshahi, Khofi Alayee, Al-Aghrād al-Tibbīyah wa al-Mabāhith al-Alāīyah, and Yadegar" have been examined. Also, Noor software was used to examine the words "Melancholia", "Malencholia", "Melencholia" and "Macholia" in these books.
Results: Jurjani considered the change in the temperament of the brain from soda as the cause of this disease. He considers a person suffering from melancholia to be a person who feels fear without reason and is sad and suspicious. Jurjani considered the emotional symptoms of a person suffering from melancholia to be in the nature of soda.
Conclusions: Jurjani has mentioned two types of cerebral melancholia and cooperative melancholia. In the discussion of cooperative members, Jurjani's opinion in "Al-Aghrād" complements her opinion in "Zakhire". Also, based on Jurjani's point of view, she paid attention to the nature of phlegm soda in order to improve the emotional symptoms of the sufferers and corrected the abnormal soda phlegm in the body.
