    was a French
    physician
    born around 1575 in

    ,
    France
    . He is famous for his treatise on
    melancholia
    ,
    Traicte de l'essence
    et guerison de l'amour ou de la melancholie erotique
    (1610), an early psychological work on melancholia or love sickness. This book is the first English translation.  It was for this work he was put on trial for by the
    Inquisition
    . He identifies symptoms and recommends treatments including diet and bloodletting The treatise on erotic melancholia may have been read by the French writer,
    Eugène Sue
    , whose character "Jacques Ferrand" ["Mysteries of Paris"], actually dies from an unrequited passion. Sue's father had been a distinguished doctor, and Sue himself was engaged in the medical profession when he was a young man.
