"Monsieur Purgon, the hypochondriac from Molière's Le Malade Imaginaire (1622-73), would have fit right in at Hyman Bachwald's New York apothecary in 1868. Argan, another character from the play, would have approved of Bachwald's remedies, as both men were plagued by their own neuroses. While Argan believed he was poisoned, Purgon was convinced he was sick with every ailment known to man. Fast forward to the 20th century, and neurotic behaviors continue to persist. Sigmund Freud, the Austrian psychologist, famously explored the unconscious mind and the role of neuroses in shaping human behavior. And what better way to ward off imaginary ills than with a good hand washing?" #Moliere #LeMaladeImaginaire #Neurosis #HymanBachwald #Argan #SigmundFreud #MentalHealthAwareness #HandWashing #OilPaintings #17thCentury #19thCentury #20thCentury.
