Talcott reported an important case bearin g on the same point.
Mrs.
X., 26, a mother of two children.
Before confinement, the patient was haunted with the idea that her child would be stillborn.
Nine days after its birth, strong andhealthy, she was admitted to hospital in a state of violent acute mania,
which continued with high temperature, for three months, with great physical activity.
The mental state was that of a wild, violent and almost uncontrollable person.
There was severe pain in the
head, great nervous irritability and sleeplessness and hysterical weakness.
These symptoms, coupled with the fact (now first ascertained) that the lochia had ceased suddenly after
confinement and the menses had not come on, led to the choice of Senec., which was given in drop doses of
the 3x every two hours.
Steady improvement resulted and after a few weeks the patient was allowed out on parole.
A relapse followed
and Bell, did no good.
Senec was again given with good effect and complete recovery took place.
Talcott remarked that recovery from
puerperal mania seldom occurs unless menstruation is re-established.
