At the same time, a special variety of mental illness was first observed, which we would later call schizophrenia and depressive disorders – different from a multitude of mental illnesses already known. It called into being a new term, “madness,” the first medical specialization (eventually named “psychiatry”), and special legislation regarding the “mad.”
在此时期首次发现了不同于已知精神病患的特殊精神病，也就是我们后来常说的精神分裂症和抑郁症。最终被命名为“精神病学”的首个医疗专业和“精神失常”等新名词应运而生，此外还有关于“精神失常”的特殊立法。
