Abstract EN
In its comprehensive account of Melancholia, the Canon of Medicine examines its essential features, epidemiological properties nosology and etiology in a way that exhibits close parallels between the concept of Melancholia and that of the psychoses in modern psychiatry.
Of special interest is a type of Melancholia which is given the name al-Qutrub.
The Canon subscribes to an organismic approach regarding the etiology of Melancholia, and expectedly it leaned heavily on phytochemical prescriptions for the management of the disease, including hypnotic narcotic sedative and antidepressant medicinal plants.
This research examines, in addition, the psychopharmacological properties of the plants prescribed by Avicenna compared to those currently used in psychiatric practices.
