People with schizophrenia - A historical review

Schizophrenia is one of today's main mental health problems, which, however, can be traced back centuries to primitive beliefs, imaginary ideals, aberrations, myths of witchcraft and magic. Until the end of the Middle Ages and for a long time afterwards, the polymorphism of mental illness still had no scientific basis, just empirical practices and knowledge that didn't run in a straight line. This study consists of a critical review of the literature, the aims of which are to describe the nursing care provided to schizophrenic individuals and to rethink such care for this particular group, as well as their families.
