What was Drapetomania? Coined in 1851 by American physician Samuel A. Cartwright, drapetomania was a pseudo-medical term used to describe the supposed mental illness that caused enslaved Africans to flee captivity. The name comes from the Greek "drapetes" (a runaway) and "mania" (madness or frenzy). Cartwright argued that enslaved people who tried to escape were suffering from a disorder that could be prevented or cured by proper physical discipline and Christian guidance. In his article titled

Part 6: They called the desire for freedom a mental illness. Look up Drapetomania. In 1851, Samuel A. Cartwright claimed enslaved people who ran away were “disordered.” The treatment? Punishment and forced labor. This is why I say: Black history isn’t just something we learn. It’s something the nervous system remembers. When you understand that, medical mistrust makes sense. Comment “BODY” if you want Episode 7. #BlackHistory #TraumaTok #NervousSystem #BlackMentalHealth #tiktoklearningcampaign

Joel Bervell, MD on Instagram: "In 1851, Dr. Samuel Cartwright reported on the discovery of “Drapetomania.” He described this as a “curable mental disease” that gave enslaved people the urge to flee bondage and seek freedom. Cartwright also used the spirometer and quantified race as a key differentiator in lung capacity, a false belief that permeates in medicine today. Confronting medicine’s racist past is necessary to understand how it impacts us today. #hiddenmedicalhistory #medicalhistory #fa

This is how depraved enslavers were. If a slave dared to try to escape, they were accused of being mentally ill. They even came up with a name for it called Drapetomania. 🙄 Drapetomania was a fraudulent 1851 pseudo-medical diagnosis coined by Dr. Samuel A. Cartwright to describe the alleged mental illness causing enslaved people to flee captivity. Rooted in scientific racism, it aimed to pathologize the desire for freedom, suggesting that running away was a curable, irrational “mania”. #blackhi

Does systemic racism exist? Here's one example from medicine that lasted over 200 years. A myth started by Thomas Jefferson and amplified by 19th century doctors like Samuel Cartwright got built into the very machines we still use today, changing how lung health was measured for Black and Asian patients until just a few years ago. This is what systemic racism looks like when it's baked into institutions. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. #jubilee #didyouknow #learnonfb #medicalstudent #

Drapetomania is a term that was historically used to describe a supposed mental illness that was believed to cause enslaved people to flee from their captors. The term was coined in 1851 by Samuel A. Cartwright, a physician in Louisiana, and it is now widely recognized as a pseudoscientific concept that was used to justify slavery and pathologize enslaved people's desire for freedom. The term "drapetomania" comes from the Greek words "drapetes," meaning "runaway slave," and "mania," meaning "mad
