Mental disorders (causes, statistics, treatment).
Ten stones of valuable works of French or English name has been preserved because it is often indicative of a theory or a whole system, for the layman but it is quite impossible, even with the help of the lexicon as names raisonnante foil, Alienation, moral insanity , Dementia, monomania de grandeur avec paralyze without detailed knowledge of the G. to understand their differences. One of the most bestgekannten and typical images of the disease is paralytic chronic mental illness or paralysis of the asylums. It affects mostly men of middle age, begins with delusions about imaginary wealth, high descent, or incredible gifts and abilities (megalomania), then through a stage of morbid resentment to gradual deterioration of the intellectual forces, paralysis of the pupil, fluctuating course and ends at the image progressive nonsense with death. Extremely wechselvoll is the image of the epileptic G.; here are often different elementary disturbances in regular bills, and sometimes the same is replaced by others, there are often long-free intervals (intervalla lucida) in between, and just this form of G. is it is what the courts are often extremely busy, when it comes to whether a criminal at the time of That was sane or not. A third picture of the G. is madness, madness and primary (as opposed to a secondary Griesinger adopted madness), which were characterized by hallucinatory disorders (sizes and persecution), with mental weakness, often due to hereditary strain injuries and diseases of the brain in the child’s age, investment in the so-called nonsense. Invalidenstrasse brains (Schüle) develops. Most are young men of 18-22 years or women 40 to 50 years, ie in the menopausal period, infested. Healings after about six months are extremely rare, the duration of this insanity lasts sometimes for decades. Extremely intricate and manifold is the complex of symptoms that dementia or mental weakness (sd) total. As mood disorders in engern sense refers to the mania, which by exalted, raging, angry delusions characterized, while the melancholy of the contents of a depressive delusions, tieftrauriger is. For both G. hallucinations are missing, they often go after several months in duration than cure. The melancholy affects mostly people 17 to 25 years or old people, the sick, the lament of most unworthy acts, suffer from persistent anxiety (sd), sometimes refuse food (abstinence) and are inclined to suicide; finally expire this patient the idiocy. Sometimes changing the image of the mania with which the melancholy rhythm, and so does the circular insanity (slide of Falret circulaire; film à double forme of Baillarger). This mental illness affects individuals irrespective of age and sex of persons usually strong, she has free intervals of longer duration, but is incurable.
The causes of G can be divided into two major groups, and the acquired angeerbten, summarize. Not only those pathological formations of the skull and brain, which we cretins and Mikrokephalen for you, come in certain districts or families as a legacy of ill mentally ancestors, but any kind of abnormal brain system, which serves as epilepsy, as a primary or melancholy madness, as paralytic insanity or idiocy is expressed, the likelihood of an inheritance by the offspring within. There are marriages among blood relatives, origin of habit drinkers, which is not rare in the G. Deszendenz to go. Acquired G. arise partly from local diseases of the brain and his skin through injuries, chronic inflammation, age, shrinkage, partly they develop out of general suffering from typhoid, fever Exchange, syphilis, with alcoholism, sex after diseases of the sphere, etc.; sometimes neuroses , hysteria or over-exertion of the brain, tireless work, sometimes violent impressions soul as the cause, but at least as a reason for the outbreak, perhaps in a dormant germ address mental illness.
The statistics of G is in general an increase of earlier times after, but the older information is very vague and the new non-uniform long enough together to discuss the causes of this phenomenon to allow conclusions. In Prussia, came to 10000 inhab. 1871: 23 male, 22 female mentally ill and 1880: 25 males, 23 females. There were 1880 to 10000 inhabitants Evangelical 24.1 to Catholic 23.7, 38.9 on Jewish mentally ill. There were 10.000 people in 1880:
According to the statistics of Luni, which the ratio of G. J. France from 1831 to 1876 includes the number of mentally ill in this time by five-fold, but is to be noted that in recent times rather than mentally ill be detected, which formerly were treated as criminals or released umhergingen, and further that by careful treatment of the life of patients significantly prolonged.
The treatment of G may not be designed by coaxing the sick or logical evidence that unrhymed their ideas clearly would want to do, since this procedure is absolutely useless. Warm baths, appropriate physical care, sometimes drugs are the basis of the treatment, which itself should be as much as possible in an institution shall be furnished. The fact that the mentally ill to asylums institutions be passed, is a necessity, which is often accompanied by relatives, far too late into account. Until now, this happened but in some cases, not because you feared the lunatic asylum and a prison in their presumed, in which one of its nationals only Zagen brought. With the abolition of coercion by Conolly, which also forced the Jackets asylums banished treatment (non-restraint system), also have the institutions themselves a reputation gained andres: prison-like everything has abolished the interior is friendly and convenient for patients set so that, apart from the Verschlossensein the doors, the lunatic asylum not far from another hospital is different. This is the confidence of the public in high-level rise, the patient will be calmer and especially timely after the lunatic asylum and can.
