Who was Johannes Hofer?
Swiss physician Johannes Hofer coined the term in his 1688 medical dissertation, from the Greek nostos, or homecoming, and algos, or pain.

Who invented nostalgia?
The literal meaning of nostalgia, then, is the suffering evoked by the desire to return to one’s place of origin. The term was coined by the Swiss physician Johannes Hofer (1688/1934) to capture the adverse symptoms displayed by Swiss mercenaries in the service of European monarchs.
Did nostalgia used to be a disease?
By the 17th century, however, nostalgia was regarded as a form of psychological disorder. Johannes Hofer, the Swiss doctor who coined the term in 1688, called it a “neurological disease of essentially demonic cause,” and the first cases were identified in those, like Odysseus, who had served in war.
What is the Swiss illness?
Hofer introduced nostalgia or mal du pays “homesickness” for the condition also known as mal du Suisse “Swiss illness”, because of its frequent occurrence in Swiss mercenaries who in the plains of Switzerland were pining for their landscapes. Symptoms were also thought to include fainting, high fever, and death.
Is nostalgia a mental disorder?
Experts did consider nostalgia a mental health condition at one point. Physician Johannes Hofer first used the term in the late 1600s to describe the anxiety, homesickness, disordered eating, insomnia, and other symptoms experienced by Swiss mercenaries during their time fighting away from home.
