By the 18th and 19th century, the Anatomy of Melancholia written by Robert Burton in the year 1621 had already been read by a number of people and suddenly they decided that they were also suffering from melancholia. Because they showed all the symptoms! This is human nature. And with the growth of reading skills, in society, the mind decided that it would also follow the behavior patterns of people who lived 3 centuries ago, and suffered from melancholia, and thus mope around in a state of depression.
