37.77 Male, 15-24 yrs, Manic depressive, October 1946
Scope and Contents
"Occupation: Miner. Diagnosis: Reactive Depression. Anxiety state (phobic). Poor health for 6 years. Something wrong with bronchial tubes. Not fit for work. "Complained of increasing depression and an overwhelming hatred of work in the pits. He has the spectacle of his invalid father always before him and feels a similar fate is awaiting him. He was invalided from the RAF on account of his neurosis and in my opinion is unfit to work in the mines. If he continues to do so he is likely to have a serious breakdown. On the other hand he is an able and intelligent youth who could do well in some trade above ground."
