Her psychosis lasted but a little more than three months under observation and was characterized by the following symptoms: She was usually in bed, staring blankly or appearing otherwise quite indifferent and apathetic, but not infrequently, especially during the first few weeks, she was quite restless, resistive, whined and suddenly appeared startled or distressed with no occasion for this reaction in the environment. Rarely she was suddenly assaultive. When attempts were made to examine her, she was frequently mute or would repeat the question with a rising inflection, not getting anywhere, or would say, “What shall I say,” or “I, I----” never finishing her sentence. After orientation questions she might say “This is--this is--this is----” all this, together with a rather perplexed appearance, gave the impression of considerable bewilderment, but at no time did she complain of autopsychic perplexity. It was difficult to judge of her orientation on account of her failure to answer questions, but it soon appeared that she knew the names of the nurses, for she sometimes called them spontaneously by name. She always ate reluctantly. During these examinations, however, other symptoms often appeared. When she was talked to, she was apt to indulge in depressive statements and show considerable distress. Such remarks were: “I must confess my guilt,” “I am a bad girl and I have to face my guilt,” or “I have sinned,” or, standing up with a dramatic air, “I must stand up and tell the truth.” Once she said, “It is too late to live now.” She spoke of having lied and usually would not say what about, but once on questioning replied “I said I would not tell what happened here.” She was asked, What do you mean? and answered “I took my oath not to tell anything.” Pressed further she said that the nurses poisoned her. Another time she said she was in prison. To her aunt who visited her she said, “I am a prostitute,” and once she remarked to the doctor, “I have killed my honor,” and on another occasion in the middle of the night she called out, “Chinatown Charlie, come here.” She thought the doctor was her brother. Most of these statements were associated with painful emotion, but there were a few occasions when an element of elation cropped out. Thus on one occasion she laughed, another time gripped the doctor’s pad and tried to read it. When the nurse laughed, she made a funny grimace at her and said “Why do you laugh?” Again she once sang two songs, but after the first verse got stuck and kept repeating one word.
