PREFACE TO Ist INDIAN EDITION:
This book embodies, in a series of lectures a long experience in working for the good of those who suffer from mental derangement.

CONTENTS:  Ten Lectures along with treatment and index of remedies.

LECTURE I – THE HUMAN BRAIN

About anatomy and physiology of brain, intellectual action of brain.

Also about emotions.

LECTURE II  – INSANE DIATHESIS OR ABNORMAL TENDENCIES OF

HUMAN  MIND

Grauvogel in “The Text Book Of Homoeopathy” mentions various constitutions of human body

  • Hydrogenoid
  • Oxygenoid
  • Carbonitrogenoid

Mental abnormality is always due to

either imperfect/eccentric physical development or effect of inborn or acquired physical diseases or injurious impression either antenatal / postnatal  upon that delicate and intricate physical structure known as the human brain.

Some persons more than others when affected by any bodily ailment OR Some physical imperfections or tend to aberrated conditions of mind.

Insane diathesis:
Natural defect and unnatural tendencies applied to in general way to term- insane diathesis.

Conditions leading to unsoundness can be

  • inherited (compared to scrofulous)
  • Acquired (compared to gouty diathesis)

Hysteria in mother may develop insane diathesis in child;  Drunkenness in father may impel epilepsy, or mania, or dementia in son ;Ungoverned passions, from love to hate, hope to fear, when indulged  very much  by parents -unrestrained madness in children. Approach of medical men by timely warnings may save them for his own treatment instead of sending him to asylum.

CAUSES

Many of the high livers of the present day are developing, rapidly, surely strong tendencies to mental and physical disorders. Methods of life of those who produce children under such circumstancesmental weakness.

Causes developed from parents unclipped imagination or passion of remorse or undue gratification of the appetites or depletion of body system through the overuse, or any perversion of the physical, mental or moral powers etc.,

Can be often the result of peculiar states in which the reproducing pair find at moment of conception, likewise, in the unpleasant emotions induced by surroundings of the mother during pregnancy. Drunkenness, lust, rage, fear mental anxiety..etc.,  in act of impregnation  will each or in combination lead to idiosy, imbecility, eccentricity or absolute insanity.

( eg., Nepoleon-warrior, mother during pregnancy  excercised queenly powers.         Children born under influence of fear troubled by apprehension insane)

Insane diathesis acquired or inherited By :

  1. Imperfect nutrition
  2. Slight and almost imperceptible injuries to the brain- blows or falls.
  3. Those fears sometimes excited in the minds of young children for the purpose of government.
  4. Overtaxing the undeveloped physical powers
  5. Unwise forcing of the mind in its immature or underdeveloped stage
  6. Premature and unnatural excitement of the sexual organs of the young
  7. By suppression of the ambitions , and powers, & tastes, and desires, of enthusiastic adolescent.

Insanity is result of diseased condition of the brain, either functional or organicexpression of delusions or hallucinations. Delicate children should be kept much in the open air, and taught to exercise their muscles until they are physically fully developed.

The head of those who are born or bred to insanity are almost always misshapen- One side is fuller than the other, one ear set higher than the other, eyes pear forth in a restless uncertain way from beneath beetling brows, nose slants slightly across the fact, mouth has uneven cut, and lips match each other poorly.

TO AVOID DEVELOPMENT OF INSANE DIATHESIS: avoid debasing passion, shunning all unnecessary anxiety and cares of life, cultivate higher virtues, better tempers etc.,

MEDICINES : Act as stimulus in growth and development of human body .

Remedies are  Calc carb, Hepar sulph, Graphites, Phosphorus, Sepia, Silicea, Sulphur.

LECTURE III     – SLEEP , SLEEPLESSNESS , AND THE CURE OF INSOMNIA

Hippocrates first physician who seemed to have a true conception of real nature of insanity- to certain extent insanity was due to physical disturbances.

Mentions about St. Dympna. First Asylum est. – St, Luke’s in London in 1751.

Samuel Hahnemann est.  Asylum for insane at Georgenthal in 1791.

LECURE VII   –  DIMENTIA
The term is derived from two Latin words,de, “from”, and mens, “mind”. The expression, therefore, means strictly “out of mind”.

Demented persons are incapable of reasoning because  external objects make too feeble an impression upon them, because the organs of transmission have lost a part or all of their energy, or the brain itself has no longer sufficient strength to receive and retain the impression thus transmitted to it. The organ of thought has not energy enough; it has been deprived of that vigor which is necessary for the integrity of its functions.

Idiocy is a congenital absence of both cerebral and mental power. It is amentia, “without mind”. Imbecility means a checked or arrested development.

Dementia may be classified in a general way as primary and secondary. Primary dementia is a disease which comes on independently of any other form of insanity. Secondary dementia follows in the wake of some other form of insanity, chiefly melancholia or mania; and if this condition continues until the case is hopeless, it is then called terminal dementia.

Dementia may be either acute or chronic. That is, it may come on suddenly and with sharp manifestations, or it may gradually develop into a hopeless and long continued aberration.

Primary dementia may be sudden or gradual in its onset. Among the young and the poorly nourished, an attack of dementia is likely to be sudden, and then it is called acute primary dementia. Senile dementia (the dementia of old age) may be primary. That is, it may  come on without any previous attack of any form of insanity, or it may come gradually.

Causes and symptoms of acute dementia:
Absence of any neurotic inheritance was favourable to the development of acute dementia when its immediate causes come into play. Acute brought by fright , disappointment, surprise etc., OTHER CAUSES: Poorly fed indifferently housed.

Acute dementia invasion in two ways. Gradually or by attack of excitement. On recovering patients find a great hiatus or vacancy in his memory.

Chronic dementia : After disappearance of acute mania  effect of  shock are sometimes visible in a certain condition  of mental weakness without actual intellectual disorder. This is one end of scale of degeneration . No interest in present, patient leads a vegetative life. Bodily health is good. End  is usually death. Occasionally the recovery take place during onset of some acute disease.

Masturbatic dementia : As a result of pervasive and brain- impairing vice familiarly known as self abuse. Such persons can develop mild or acute melancholia or condition resembling subacute mania. But usually terminate in dementia.

Treatment: moral, medical, dietetic & hygienic.

Syphilitic dementia: Have gummy deposits or tumors in brain. Produce loss of memory or  sight, paralysis of one or both sides of the body and finally a series of convulsions , in which patient finally dies.

Epilepic dementia: Requires close care, good nursing, light diet and such sympathy as their helpless and deplorable state demands.

Organic dementia: Enfeeblement of mental powers, complicate with or superveining upon paralysis of one or both sides of the body. Frequently follow an attack of apoplexy.

Alcoholic  dementia: Produced by protracted use of alcoholic stimulants

Katatonic dementia : Repeat constantly and delibrately the same sentence or phrase.

Senile dimentia: Due to old age or acquired cerebral disease. In acquired cerebral disease patient is clearly conscious of his mental weakness. In senile dimentia first loss of memory particularly for recent events without any serious impairement of reasoning faculties. Second degree loss of reasoning power. Third degree  incomprehension. Fourth degree loss of instinctive action.

PATHOLOGICAL STATES

Paresis can be found confounded with locomotor ataxia, progressive muscular atrophy , and senile dimentia.

PROGNOSIS
Unfavourable, patient dies within one – eight or ten years after inception of the disease. By means of rest in bed & a suitable diet , and proper care, the paretic may live for several years. During remissions they can exercise very gently. Beds should be soft, elastic and comfortable to avoid bed sores.
