Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In ancient Greece, psychological disorders were believed to be caused by imbalances in the four bodily humors (blood, phlegm, yellow bile, black bile). Treatment involved modifying the person's environment to restore balance. This included increasing or decreasing exposure to heat, dryness, moisture, or cold to restore the humoral balance. Herbal remedies were also used, but modifying the environment was the primary method of treatment. Decreasing caloric and liquid intake or lowering the person's body temperature for extended periods of time were not commonly used treatments for psychological disorders in ancient Greece.
