Willis gave one of the most extensive accounts of the whole field of mental illness which had appeared up to that time. He attributed `melancholy` or affective psychosis to `passions of the heart`; and `madness` or psychosis accompanied by thought disorder, delusions or hallucinations - that is schizophrenia - to `vice or fault of the Brain`. He recognised the difference between the symptoms of gross brain disease and those of mental illness in which he accounted for the absence of pathological findings by postulating a disturbance of the brain and nerves in terms of disordered `Animal Spirits`. For this reason he is often credited with having first equated mind disease with brain disease` (Hunter & Macalpine, p. 188). (1)
