Diagnosis
Its time for me to spend a few days with the witchdoc...........
I suppose the earliest ( I could be wrong here - this is just a guesstimate ) reference to Schizophrenia could be found in the fables of The Panchatantra, in its concluding section - the story of the four men, equipped with magic quills, in search of treasure. The fourth friend does not rest with the discovery of gold, following that of copper and silver. He has to push, farther and further, till he reaches a man, bloodied face with a spinning wheel atop his head, who feels neither hunger nor the need to sleep. He asks the latter of the cause of his plight and the wheel comes and settles atop his own head - an unending torment.
