Abstract
This contribution traces succinctly the conceptual development of depressive and bipolar disorders from Graeco-Roman views, through the Middle Ages and the period of the Enlightenment, into the modern era. Common threads, analogies, and links between ancient and modern ideas are identified and briefly discussed, and some past controversies are revisited.
