This soon passed, however, and within a few days she was quite normal and had remained so for some months after her discharge from the hospital, when last seen. In fact, according to the husband, she was in better mental and physical health following the psychosis than she had been for years.
Two weeks later when the family had an anniversary mass for the sister the patient appeared sad, but the following day laughed, said she had seen her “sister beckoning her to come.” She also thought she saw her picture “and Heaven was behind it.” She also talked of “dead relatives and friends.” A reaction of levity in connection with a sister’s death is highly suggestive of a malignant psychosis.
But he did not deny, nor can anyone deny, that in this case they are reasoning machines, capable of performing all those operations which are performed by the nervous system of man when he reasons. For even supposing that in man, and in man only, psychosis is superadded to neurosis the neurosis which is common to both man and animal gives their reasoning processes a fundamental unity.
About that Martian machine. It won't treat a Terran homicidal case as homicidal, will it?" "Of course not. Homicide is unknown on Mars." "Yes. But what will it do? Might it not reject the entire case as unsuitable? Then the customer would merely return the Regenerator with a complaint and we would " Mr. Rath shook his head. "The Rex Regenerator must treat if it finds evidence of psychosis.
The psychosis bordered on deep stupor for brief periods when the inactivity seemed to be complete or she lay in bed with her head raised from the pillow. On the other hand, there were occasional sudden spells of free activity even with a certain elation. She could often be persuaded to answer questions or to write, the slowness of this spoken or written speech varying considerably.
Retrospectively the patient stated that she heard children on the street call “Katie.” She thought they meant her child, heard that it was to be taken away from her, and a similar idea again came out later in her psychosis, namely, that somebody was going to harm her children. At the Observation Pavilion she appeared stupid, rather immobile, her attention difficult to attract.
The possibility of the three high temperatures with leucocytosis being due to intercurrent infections must be considered. Charles O. had high fever only for ten days during a psychosis of several months. Annie G.’s high fever was of about the same duration. Caroline DeS. had short periods of marked pyrexia in the first and seventh months of her long psychosis.
Among 40 cases, 27 offered some explanation either during or following the psychosis. Of these, 20 spoke of feeling dead, numb or drugged, or feeling as if paralyzed or having lockjaw. This group, just half of all the cases, apparently ascribed their disability to something which seemed physical. One might call them somatopsychic cases.
The psychosis, Dagonet says, is not pure but more a mixture of hypochondria and depression. Relationship with mania is next considered. He says that stupor may succeed, alternate with or precede mania. His cases seem mainly to have been what we call absorbed manics or manic stupors. In fact, he uses the last term.
Apparently, however, this insight did not cause her any worry. It is interesting to note that, during the bulk of her psychosis, her only complaints were of mental hebetude and dizziness. Possibly the latter was merely an expression of her subjective confusion. Henrietta H. Age: 22. Admitted to the Psychiatric Institute March 6, 1903.
