Kraepelin

“Kraepelin, in formulating his ideas about dementia praecox and manic-depressive disorder, drew on both the mid-century medical writing about hysterical insanity (especially that of Griesinger) and the recent French and German literature on hysteria. . . . [in classic chapter on d. pl. in 6th edition of his textbook (1899)] “we find that the clinical descriptions and pictorial representations are much alike. . . the hebephrenic and catatonic [but not paranoid] forms of the disorder have clear clinical parallels with hysteria” (Micale II, 513).
