Depression

'Depression for the last 18 months, thinks neighbours are talking about her, that different events have a special meaning for her. Seen at OPC and admission to CRI advised. Incomer? did war work in [England]. Paternal uncle is afraid of meeting people - like pt. 3 rooms, officially overcrowded.'

'This man was in CRI with melancholia, duration 3 months. Also suffered from varicose veins and ulcers and from arteriosclerosis. He is still a bit queer, might go wrong at any time, a little bit of extra worry would upset him. Good farm house, clean and prosperous. Very decent clean living people.'
