THE SO-CALLED MIXED STATES AND ATYPICAL FORMS OF MANIC-DEPRESSIVE INSANITY
Abstract
(1) The essence of the manic-depressive reactions is the occurrence of some appropriate affective attitude of the organism as a whole which is of purposeful character, abnormal because of its severity and duration and because there is no apparent external cause for its adoption.
(2) The so-called mixed states and atypical forms are not mixtures simply of certain traits but represent affective oscillations colored by peculiarities in the make-up of the individual patient. Such modes of adjustment must be carefully studied and weighed in rendering a prognosis in any individual case.
