J.T.KENT

There is a long chain of mental symptoms; hysterical condition of

the mind and body; weeping alternating with laughing; irresistible
laughing at unsuitable times; prolonged, spasmodic laughter. This
will be followed by fearfulness, great sadness, joylessness. No
matter how cheering the circumstances are she cannot bring
herself into the state of being joyful. She is benumbed to
impressions, easily takes on grief, grieves over nothing.
Unpleasant occurrences are recalled that she may grieve over
them. Consolation aggravated the state of the mind - the
melancholy, the fearfulness, sometimes brings on anger. She
appears to bid for sympathy and is mad when it is given. Headache
comes on with this melancholy. She walks the floor in rage. She is
extremely forgetful; cannot cast up accounts; is unable to
meditate; forges what she was going to say; loses the thread of
what she is hearing or reading. There is a great prostration of the
mind. Unrequited affection brings on complaints. She is unable to
control her affections and falls in love with a married man. She
knows that it is foolish, but lies awake with love for him. She falls
in love with a coachman. She knows that she is unwise, but cannot
help it. In cases of this kind Natr. mur. will turn her mind into
order, and she will look back and wonder why she was so silly. This
remedy belongs to hysterical girls. In a mental state where Ign.
temporarily benefits the symptoms, but does not cure, its chronic
Natr. mur. should be given. It is as well to give Natr. mur. at once
if there is an underlying constitutional state too deep for Ign.
