Woman Suffering From Acute Melancholia, 1869, courtesy Wellcome Library, London.
Melancholia (from Greek - melancholia, “sadness”, literally black bile), also lugubriousness, from the Latinlugere, to mourn; moroseness, from the Latin morosus, self-willed, fastidious habit; wistfulness, from old English wist: intent, or saturnine, (see Saturn), in contemporary usage, is a mood disorder of non-specific depression, characterized by low levels of both enthusiasm and eagerness for activity.
