The Madrilenian Félix Lope de Vega Carpio (1562 1635) was the first Spanish playwright. As a privileged witness to his time and with an exquisite knowledge of the human soul, he managed to portray all the social and human reality of the Golden Age in his more than 700 plays. Illnesses and those who suffer them are to be found throughout his works. Many neurological diseases, such as apoplexy, melancholy, headaches or epilepsy, appear quite often in his plays. His descriptions are accurate and the ideas about each disease reflect the knowledge that existed during his time (galenic, medieval or renaissance).
马德里人费利克斯·洛佩·德·维加·卡尔皮奥（1562年-1635年）是西班牙第一位剧作家。作为他那个时代的特权见证者，并且对人类灵魂有着精湛的了解，他在700多部戏剧中成功描绘了黄金时代所有的社会和人类现实。在他的作品中随处可见疾病以及患病之人。许多神经系统疾病，如中风、忧郁症、头痛或癫痫，在他的戏剧中经常出现。他的描述准确无误，对每种疾病的看法反映了他那个时代（盖伦医学、中世纪或文艺复兴时期）存在的知识。
