Abstract

Objective

To evaluate the oldest record of a depressed individual contemplating suicide.

Method

A directed review of ancient Egyptology literature of translations and discussion regarding a papyrus that is approximately 4,000 years old.

Results

The content of the document is consistent with a man going through a severe depression and is contemplating suicide. However, this does not appear to be a suicide note, but more of an ancient example of ‘journaling’ or working through the thoughts of suicide and its possible consequences to the man’s eternal life in the afterworld.

Conclusions

Presentation of depression, the reasons for considering suicide, and the process by which an individual works through those thoughts have not varied significantly over the past 4,000 years.

古埃及的自杀抑郁症

摘要

客观的

评估考虑自杀的抑郁个体的最古老记录。

方法

对大约 4,000 年历史的纸莎草纸的翻译和讨论的古埃及学文献的直接回顾。

结果

该文件的内容与一名患有严重抑郁症并正在考虑自杀的男子一致。然而,这似乎不是一封遗书,而更像是一个古老的“记录”或通过自杀的想法及其对人在来世的永生可能产生的后果进行研究的例子。

结论

在过去的 4000 年中,抑郁症的表现、考虑自杀的原因以及个体通过这些想法进行工作的过程并没有显着变化。
