Etymology of Draptomania (drapetes – a runaway (in this case a slave)) (mania – madness or frenzy) – A psychiatric diagnosis manufactured by Samuel A. Cartwright, a Louisiana physician to explain the unknown desire that Enslaved Africans had to flee from their slave conditions.

This reference to “draptomania” is made in a lot of books on race and psychiatry; the point being made is that one can not apply “white” mental illness labels to black people because, as this example illustrates, they can be extremely biased!
