Book Description

Excerpt from Thirty-First Annual Report of the Trustees of the State Lunatic Hospital at Worcester: October, 1863 Some persons think, talk and act calmly, rationally and dis erectly, in connection with' some subjects, but are excited, insane, and even Wild, in connection with others. Some are insane only in certain circumstances, or in certain associations, or places, but are elsewhere sane. Many are insane at home, but are sound when abroad. Some are insane as to certain persons, but not in reference to others. It unfortunately happens sometimes, that the closest and dearest natural and habitual connections, where, in health, life runs most smoothly and joyously, are disturbed and made most wretched, by the mental disease of one or the other of the parties. Thus parents become insane, suspicions, accusatory, quarrelsome in respect to their children, and children' in respect to their parents. Husbands become insane, and morbidly suspicious in reference to their wives, and wives in reference-to their husbands; their minds are sometimes disordered 1n relation to certain others, to friends, acquaintances, even strangers.
