    Background:

    • Calenture is a historical behavioral phenomenon characterized by sailors' impulse to jump into the sea.
    • The earliest descriptions originate from ancient Spanish sailors.
    • Modern psychiatric literature has largely overlooked direct references to calenture.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive historical and clinical overview of calenture.
    • To analyze the phenomenon through the lens of contemporary psychological understanding.
    • To explore potential connections between calenture and the nautical term 'missing at sea'.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical literature review of calenture descriptions.
    • Clinical case analysis from 18th and 19th-century psychiatric records.

  • Theoretical discussion integrating modern psychological frameworks.

    • Main Results:

    • Calenture presents as a distinct behavioral syndrome with a historical basis in maritime settings.
    • The phenomenon's clinical features and historical context are detailed.
    • Potential psychological underpinnings and implications, including links to 'missing at sea', are discussed.

    Conclusions:

    • Calenture, though historically documented, requires further investigation within modern psychological and psychiatric contexts.
    • Understanding calenture offers insights into extreme behavioral responses in isolated, stressful environments.
    • The phenomenon may be linked to psychological distress and the concept of 'missing at sea'.
