Yourself
BY DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
wife has been depressed for
the past few months. So
much so that lately she has
mentioned suicide.
She signs a lot when she
breathes and gets feelings
of tightness in her chest,
and panics. She thinks she
is going to die in one of
those attacks.
In addition to this, she is
up at all hours of the night.
She is terribly insommiac. In
spite of all these complaints
she refuses to go to our
family doctor. I don't know
what to do.-Mr. H.
THERE is only one thing
to do: Get her to your doc
tor, or manage to have the
doctor come to the house.
Don't put it off. And don't
be influenced by the fact
that she may become angry
because you have taken
positive action. She is not
we'll enough to make a ra-
tional decision. There comes
a time in the illness of many
patients when they can't
decide what's best for their
own good. So it seems to be
with your wife.
I can only guess, but what
you say indicates that she
is suffering from a severe
depression. Your doctor will
have to decide whether it's
due to involutional melan-
cholia Can uncommon COM
plication of the memo
pause); or a manifestation
of some underlying mental
disease; or due to an over
breathing Syndrom Causing
anxiety, panic, etc. which
we call Representation.
I can't say, but your doctor
will discover the cause.
WHATEVER 1T is, i'm
mediate treatment is essen
tial. Insomnia which per-
sists night after night is
often a prominent symptom
of dangerous depression. A
patients statement that she
is thinking of committing
suicide should not be passed
off as an idle threat. Too
often the actual event is
proof too late that the pa
tent meant it.
After your doctor has
questioned and examined
her he will have to make the
decision with the help of a
psychiatrist) as to whether
she needs immediate cleo
troconvulsive therapy (shock
treatment) or whether tran
quilizers and antidepressant

DEAR ABBY

DEAR ABBY: At what age
do you think a child should
be told the truth about
Santa Claus and the Easter
bunny?
Our son is 8 and he gets
so much fun out Of believing
in these things, I hate to
spoil the holidays for him
by telling him the truth.
My husband says we should
tell him, and the sooner the
better.
This became a problem
when our son came home
crying. He had told a play
mate that Santa" brought
him his wagon, and his
playmate made fun Of him.
We would like your opinion,
and the opinion of others
who have had to face this
problem. Our son is an only
child and came into our lives
after we had been married
Is years and had given up
all hope of having a child,
so his happiness means the
world to us. MOTHER.
Fairy tales should be iden-
titled as such and explained
as soon as a child is wise
enough to question their
validity. Don't confuse your
son by trying to preserve a
fantasy which will be re-
vealed later for what 1t is.

drugs will bring her out of

any real question about her
motivation for suicide, the
safest method is electrocon-
vulsive therapy. 1t acts more
quickly and surely, and
greatly lessons the danger Of
suicide.
I want to underline this
again: Any patient who has
been depressed and sleeplesS
and talks of suicide, should
have medical attention today

should depend upon the

New Emphasis Seen

mind of the student. When
bits of geography are inter-
spersed with other materials,
students fail to make that
organization. xe
Geography has been
termed the -apatolry Of his
tory" Any impr0penAent in
this area of learning in our
grade schools will bring
about better understanding
of history in our high schools.
Students Pleased
High school students will
be pleased with history as
history. My investigations
into scholarship at the high
school level shows social
studies are the courses least
liked by the college-bound.
DR.. Rafferty, also suggests
renewed emphasis upon
handwriting. Handwriting is
far too important to success
in school and on the job to
have been neglected.
Ipredict that improvement
in handwriting alone will
raise the standards of edu-
cation.
The letters I receive from
parents and teachers alike
contain questions about i'm
provement of skills in read
ing, writing, arithmetic,
geography. history and for
! eign language. Only one
letter in a hundred deals
with problems of social ad-
iustment.

There is a surge Of public
demand for schools to place
more emphasis on funda-
mental learning skills. People
want a shift from life adj

from social aptitudes to
performance.
The intensity Of the de-
mand is illustrated by the
recent election in California.
Voters elected DR.. Max Raj

Superintendent of Public
Instruction. He ran on the
issue Of increased emphasis
on subject matter.
