Abstract
This research aims to demonstrate the methods in which Egyptian physicians, Greek physicians
and Roman physicians treated two types of mental illnesses, which were prevalent in ancient
Egypt, Greek society and Roman society. This research also aims to prove that large numbers
of ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans suffered hysteria and insomnia by examining the
scenes of tombs, medical papyri and Greaco-Roman texts. This research also aims to analyze
the customs of ancient Egyptian society, Greek society and Roman society, and their impacts
on their mental health, and it also shows the impact of Egyptian medicine on Greek medicine
and Roman medicine, where Greek physicians followed therapeutic methods, which were used
by the Egyptian physicians to treat mysterious diseases or mental illnesses. This paper also
discusses the difference between the Egyptian concept of mental illnesses and the Greek concept,
and it also shows the development of the concept of mental illnesses, which were used in ancient
Egypt till the Greaco-Roman period.
