16.252 Female, Single, 45-54 yrs, Schizophrenia, February 1947
Scope and Contents
"This woman is an hysterical type, never looks anybody at anybody, just scurries about with her eye cast down. Did nursing for a bit during the war, then did not go any more. Tells queer tales about her brother but they are possibly true. Brother is said to have a black wife and child in Trinidad, put wife in a mental hospital. Nurse confirms she looks at nobody, keeps herself to herself, queer for a long time. Sounds schizophrenic."
