Definition
A state of emotional and physical distress caused by unrequited love or separation from a beloved person. Symptoms include loss of appetite, sleeplessness, and obsessive thoughts about the object of affection.
Etymology
Compound of 'love' and 'sickness,' treating romantic longing as a medical condition. Medieval physicians actually prescribed treatments for this 'disease,' recognizing its real physical symptoms.
Kelly Says
Lovesickness was once considered a legitimate medical diagnosis! Medieval doctors prescribed everything from music therapy to cold baths. Modern neuroscience confirms they were onto something—intense romantic longing does create measurable physiological changes.
