Excerpt from The Dublin Journal of Medical Science, Vol. 116: July to December, 1903It will be seen that such a case difiers from a typical one of katatonia in the absence of marked heredity, of a maniacal stage and exalted delusions, and of a tendency to remissions, as well as in the existence of marked depression all through. It seems, therefore, more accurate to call this form of disease by the name at the head Of this section.Transition Cases - Lying somewhere between dementia przeeox and paranoia are certain cases of hereditary psychosis, perhaps more commonly seen amongst the educated classes than in public institutions, which are not always technically insane, but always seem to be trembling on the verge Of insanity. Such patients may not have actual delusions, but they often betray a delusional attitude of mind, shown by morbid opinions and distorted views of their own condition and of the actions of others. They are always imagining slights, and doubtful of the affection of their relations, or of the fidelity of their husbands or wives, as the case may be or again, they may show their mental unsoundness chie¿y by ill-judged or immoral conduct and are then sometimes set down as cases of moral insanity. They may easily become dangerous to themselves or others, and their prospects are naturally far worse than those of most sufferers from pro nounced acute insanity. Two voluntary boarders admitted during the year belong to this class.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
