The Drapetomania

a medical diagnosis was proposed in 1851 by Dr. Samuel A. Cartwright, a physician member of the Louisiana Medical Association, who practiced his profession in Louisiana, USA.
drapetomania The term derives from the Greek (drapetes, "a [slave] fled") + μανια (mania, "madness, frenzy").
This diagnosis appeared in an article published in the New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal, in which Dr. Cartwright argued that the trend escape of slaves actually it was a mental disorder that could be prevented and treated with high success rates.
Specifically, how preventing and reversing the situation of mental disorders, Dr Cartwright proposed whipping the slaves who seemed sullen and unhappy without any reasons and also, presumably when applicable, which is performed amputation of the toes of patients.


Anarchia

Benjamin Rush "Father of American Psychiatry", his picture adorns the official seal of the American Psychiatric Association, coined in the early nineteenth century, an interesting diagnosis called "anarchy ," a " form of madness" he used to label people who sought a more democratic society, because many people lived at the time that Benjamin Rush were unhappy with the structure U.S. policy states - slavery, restricted voting to white men ownership, etc..


Homosexuality

In 1973, much pressure is put on by gay American Psychiatric Association for her to omit homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses, proposing to call it, from then on, "a natural form of sexual development."
The entity, before so much bad publicity, just acknowledging the mistake to categorize homosexuality as a disease and removed it from its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Psychiatric Disorders.
The American Psychological Association, in turn, ended by declaring that homosexuality was not a pathology in 1975.
Finally, on 1 January 1993, the World Health Organization (WHO) removed homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses, a major victory against the preconceived ideas, but not really against the prejudice that exists because the belief that homosexuals have a choice and that only those who want to be gay.
The decision was based mainly on the fact that no evidence has been any difference between the mental health of a heterosexual and mental health a homosexual.
