The Role and Importance of History on Healing Mental Illness, Depression, Stress, Anxiety and Suicide

History is about how people lived and the things that affected and reflected their way of life and thought. Humbling and middling people, and the rich as well—their food, their housing, the warp and woof of their existence.

What are the rests of our fascination with psychology?
