31.109 Female, Single, 35-44 yrs, Schizophrenia, July 1945

"This woman is weakminded; has never been away from home, never able to work. She lives alone. Inherited £200 from her father. She is living on that. [Male informant] this girl was over-protected and spoilt by her parents; ended up bossing them completely, spent most of her time in bed, did not do any work. When they died her relations suggested the poorhouse - this had an excellent effect - she is now able to do her own shopping, but not yet able to work. [Female informant] confirms, when her mother died she was in bed for 3 weeks in all her clothes, and had had no attention. Sergt. says she will never be right, but imagines things. Dr - she did not go out of doors for 20 years. Her mother was crackers before she died."
