something absurd, asks foolish questions, howls
screams, despondent, def dejected seeks
solitude, full of melancholy discouraged, out of
humor with himself, least trifle ? discouraged.
Excessive anguish with self destruction, with
contraction of abdomen. Timidity, apprehensive,
slightest noise makes him anxious, fearsome are
well come in anthropophobia, unsociable mood,
same persons are offensive to him, choleric
quarrelsome, violent anger vehemence, become
angry on thinking of some absent
persons. Quarrels with everyone saying coarse
thing, weeps ? laughs on it not conscious of
himself.
Intellectual faculties are more acute, memories
more faithful, anxious to reflect deeply on any
subject makes her quite weak, cold damp over the
body. Imagines himself irretrievably lost.
5
2nd day Melancholy great anguish, coming from
precordial region during him place to place,
while eating anxiety of mind leaves him.

disposition to feel offended. Provoked by highest
thing that seems to grieve him.
Imagines done something wrong, will not succeed
in anything, imagines obstacles every where
partly by fate, partly by himself. Constantly
imagines He neglects something, deserves
reproaches, appears to carry his uneasiness in
mind which deprives him of all the energy
perseverance.
6
6th day Peevishness want of disposition to
speak, silent peevish ? cheerfulness, if left
alone sits still taciturn, apparently melancholy
in a corner by himself but slightest
contradiction excites, which he first manifests
by disputing and talking good deal, afterwards by
uttering, a few detached words.
7th day Constant sullen mood, taciturnity, good
humor whole day with talkativeness self
satisfaction.
11th day Despondent melancholy,
Imagines cannot succeed in anything.
15th day Religious excitement, desire solitude,
disgust for life, suicidal tendency, frequent
