One last note on this topic:

"The cure of the part should not be attempted without treatment of the whole, and also no attempt should be made to cure the body without the soul, and therefore if the head and body are to be well you must begin by curing the mind: that is the first thing...

For this is the great error of our day in the treatment of the human body, that physicians separate the soul from the body."

Plato, Chronicles 156e 

Plato born (c. 428/427 BC – c. 348/347 BC) It's an oldie but a goodie.
