Abstract |
Studied five cases of hypochondriacal melancholia in soldiers. Melancholia in military patients differed from those in non-military patients, being more of the hypochondriacal type. While civilians were voluble regarding their complaints and preserved clear consciousness, military personnel showed apathy, and displayed restricted consciousness. It was observed that this abnormality occurred in soldiers who had been called to war from the reserve, were not very young, and who had recently participated in the war. Concluded that war was the proximate cause of melancholia in soldiers. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved) |
