'Mother alive and well. Father died of heart failure. Mentally peculiar? Occupation: Farm worker. Diagnosis: Dementia "Originally apparently a dementia praecox. She has in the last few years developed Epilepsy". Admitted to CRI. Rate-aided patient.'

One day, about two years ago prior to admission, pt. had been to church and developed severe headache when she lay in bed screaming. She was very violent, said she was going to die. Since then she has been subject to outbursts of temper and has lost interest in life. She has not been able to settle down to any work but has been prone to wander about. She has threatened to drown herself. The death of her father did not affect her.

Mother now dead - simple, stupidly kind, big fat lazy woman. Soiled herself instead of going to the toilet. Sister, big, fat, phlegmatic type, slow and wandering.
