Answer: Hippocrates, a Greek physician,
suggested that depression
(initially called "melancholia"')
was caused by four
imbalanced body fluids called
humours: yellow bile, black bile, phlegm, and
blood. 2 Specifically, he thought that
melancholia was caused by too much black. And it was invented in the 19th century
