Mind and body split

[...]the classical Indian texts of Susrutha and Charaka (200 BC-AD 400) describe the interaction of the body and mind in the causation of disease. 2 Buddhist philosophy (c.600 BC) too takes a similar view and describes the mind and body as neither separate nor identical and not even alternatives, but inseparable, like two bundles of reeds, supporting each other. 3 However, distinct differences are obvious even in this rich Eastern tradition of knowledge.
