1858-12-02 | admitted to the York Retreat | Lunacy patients admission registers |
Married, aged 62. no children – from North
Shields. born Richardson, of Whitby. She is a person of very moderate
abilities, considered rather below the average. She was educated at a
Day School; shewed no intellectual predilection for any especial
pursuit, & afterwards served as a shopwoman in several situations. She
was married at the age of 37, but has had no children. About 7 years ago
her husband suffered a severe loss by the failure of a Bank, wh
he bore with Christian Fortitude, but the event has preyed upon her
mind; but she continued to enjoy pretty good health till about 6 months
ago, when she was attacked by an inflammation of the upper maxilla, wh
was followed by necrosis & the separation of a considerable part of the
alveolar prominence of the State on Admission. Physically. She is a
short, roundish built woman, with a sallow complexion, small features, &
rather cubby [illegible word] face with a mild, rather imbecile, but
fussy [?] expression of countenance. The head is small, but ventricular
especially at the posterior cornea [?] of the parietal [asions?].
Anterior [lakus?]small. hair scanty, & white; ears large thin, ill
formed & flat, Mentally. Appears in a state of partial Dementia attended with a degree of active melancholy. Talks incessantly about her now poor lost condition, constantly insisting that she has forgotten every thing, & is not able to do anything, even the simplest domestic office. She cannot rest, lying awake either all or most of the night but remaining pretty still in bed. Fears her husband will be allowed to be starved to death, though when assessed to the contrary, confessing it is very unlikely. Her manner is fussy Chattering, & somewhat ludicrous, as if there was a want of sincerity & earnestness in what she says. She used to be considered as she says a rather canny & [chaer?] woman, "but now she is the poorest thing that can be. She cannot take a stitch, as her poor ragged husband's appearance shews – she cannot make a [illegible word] – no – not the" &c &c. Her disorder is said to be increasing, & the prognosis does not seem favourable. |

1862-09-01 |
She remains much as last reported. |
|
1863-02-09 |
She remains at present in a state approaching convalescence. She is evidently of feeble mind & unable to bear the trials & contingencies of an independent life without great risk to that degree of mental soundness which she now enjoys; and therefore so long as she is content to remain in her present position, it appears the best to take no steps for her removal from the Retreat. In case she become, without relapse, urgent for her removal, it would then seem proper to arrange with her friends for that purpose. |

Since receiving the intelligence of her brother in law's death she has been in a very nervous & excitable condition, having frequently very restless nights. There is some gastric irritation for which suitable remedies have been applied; but the condition of her mind does not seem connected closely with it; but to depend upon some independent condition of the brain; her appetite, however, has been very poor, bowells slightly irritable; her mind is full of fears, nervous apprehensions, great timidity about the state of her health. She has been taking the following mixture: [illegible medical expression] |
