Layman comment: but I feel like there's references in medieval Europe to kings falling to deep malaise / melancholy.
Also would be interesting to look at early buddist philosophers and ask how they were so so early on the drop to realizing nothing is real in the way we think of it, and what biochemically may have made that a widely swallowable truth
But hey I'm just a know nothing commentor so... Ask others!
