Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Practitioner, Vol. 2 Although opium has been long and largely used in the treatment of insanity, there is still a great want of exact information as to the cases in which it really does good. No clear discrimination has been made of the varieties of insanity in which its use is sanctioned by experience, nor of the drug which it is best to give when opium is inadmissible. Systematic writers on mental diseases are apt, in their chapters on treatment, to speak of the drug rather than of the disease; they vaguely praise its virtues, and specify the doses in which it should be given, but they do not supply the elements of a definite answer to the questions which press on the practitioner who has to do with a particular case of insanity - whether he shall prescribe drugs, and if so, what drug, and in what doses? This unsatisfactory vagueness is owing mainly to the psychological classification of insanity, by which forms of disease sufficiently distinct to demand a separate description are included in the same class. What profit is there, for example, in reading generally of the treatment of mania by opium, when there are included under this class such distinct varieties of disease as puerperal mania, the mania of general paralysis, syphilitic, epileptic, or hysterical mania, each presenting features and requiring treatment in some degree special?
