Throughout history, insanity--including dementia praecox--has been a complex problem. In the search for a better understanding of dementia praecox, several theories arose from the pre-Kraepelinian concept of human madness that led to the proposal of a new definition in anatomicoclinical terms. This short historical review begins in classical times and ends with the formulation of the concept of dementia praecox in 1896 by Emil Kraepelin (1856 1926).
纵观历史，精神错乱——包括早发性痴呆——一直是个复杂的问题。在寻求对早发性痴呆更好理解的过程中，从早于克雷佩林时代的人类疯狂概念衍生出了几种理论，这些理论促使人们从解剖临床角度提出了一个新定义。这篇简短的历史回顾始于古典时期，止于1896年埃米尔·克雷佩林（1856 - 1926）提出早发性痴呆的概念。
