Melancholia
(from the Greek term μελαγχολία - "sadness", literally black bile),
in contemporary usage is a disorder of non-specific depression mood,
characterized by low levels of enthusiasm and desire to engage. In the modern
context, "melancholy" only applies to mental symptoms or emotional
depression or despair. Historically, "melancholia" can be both
physical and mental, and melancholy conditions are classified as such in terms
of a common cause rather than a trait.
