KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTROW.

ed. Let L. I. L. accept 1t as such. He Is
near enough to normal to do so.
There are lots of people who have
a cranky or paranoid streak In their
nature. They will never be like other
people. and there Is no reason why
they should be. Many of them can
lead perfectly useful lives in so far as
they can control their paranoid tend
encies and develop sufficient set of
interest such as enagge other men and
keep them mentally At. at least during
business hours. Many manage to keep
their peculiarities within a private
compartment of their lives They find
an outlet for these strong individual
ideas In something apart from their
major activities.
We may speak rather frankly to l..
/. l.. So far as one can Judge from
this letter, the diagnosis suggested by
the pSychiatrist is correct. Such en-
phatic statements as that he has "ab-
solutely scientific proof" that he does
not belong to this group are not con-
vincing. Yet he could hardly go so far
in the study OF medicine unless he
could apply his mind to many different
interests.
What he calls "untoward reactions"
suggest borderland kinds of behavior;
he even speaks Of being under the in
fiuence Of superpsychic phenomena,
and that is just the type of vague and
misleading ideas that inhabitants of
the borderland entertain, although
many normal persons have them.
When ideas of this kind get out Of hand
and control the general thinking and
behavior, they may supply basis for
tragedy of the mind. The proper ad-
vice is to follow some one who can take
an objective view of the situation. who
can tell the borderland mind not to
take these matters so seriously. This
sounds much like asking people under
the control of a delusion to give 1t up:
but that's about the only advice one
can give. AS for continuing in the
study of medicine, that idea should be
definitely abandoned. Doctoring is not
a practice suitable to those who them
selves need medical attention. Objective
interests, absorption in occupations in
which the peculiar trends of the mind
will have no play, offer the best SAL
vation.
