SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

In my opinion the saddest
mental disturbance is the one
that begins in youth and is called
dementia praecox.
About one. third OF all the pa
tients in the asylums are sur
ferers from this condition. And
once the disease definitely takes
hold, many authorities hold that
it is absolutely incurable.
The reason l consider this
psychosis so especially sad is be-
cause, in the first place, 1t SO
seldom is recognized early, at
any rate in time to render def
mite and valuable aid. In the
second place, it attacks young
people about the time of puberty
and often is a complete surprise
to unsuspecting parents.
Dementia praecox, you see, is
not sudden or dramatic in its
onset. Usually this is insidious
and slow.
The boy or girl may be bright,
in fact, even doing well in school.
But on the emotional side GER
tain changes may be noted ana
these to summarize them in a
word or two. may be classed as
eccentric or peculiar BEHAVIOR
These young people are not So
cial. They do not mix Well Ihey
tend TO be seclusive and shut.lh'
They do not enjoy going to the
theater, picture shows, dances
etc and they take little or no in
terest In athletics or sports
often they are described as
moody. Sometimes they SIT quiet
lv by themselves. perhaps Tor an
hour or longer, apparently IN
deep thought. :
Yet actually their. thinking Is
anything but profound. 1t IS OF
The shallowest sort. 1t deals win
superficialities and trivialltles.
Later on. as the weeks OF
months go by. hallucinatlons aho
deIusions develop. They see
strange sights and hear peculial
sounds ali of which have no
actual existence. Sometimes they
halieye their heart has stopped
beating or that the blood mas 1
dried up. Often they get the
notion that they are bemg
watched and prosecuted, that an
enemy is working wireless on
them. etc.
often. also. peculiar manner
fsns and awkward attitudes OF the
body are in evidence. Such pa,
tient may stand for minutes ana
minutes in a constrained posltloh
without realizing what he Is DOING
Marked stubbornness Is likewise
common. This may amount 10
what is called 'negativisn, that
is, the patient does exactly the
opposite OF what he Is told.
Other symptoms may be present
in the early stages of the disease
or develop later on.
The point is, however, to seek
expert medical aid at the earliest
possible moment, especially such
aid as may be given by special
list in mental disorders, a psychia'
trist.
Parents must not, of course, be-
come unduly alarmed when their
boy or girl acts strangely, let us
say, once or twice. Such unusual
behavior is not incompatible with
normality.
II, on the other hand, the
child's character continues to
change 1t lis much better to have
him examined and be on the safe
side than to wait until the cape
has advanced far beyond possihle
help.
