Psyche and consciousness
Mind.
Emotional.
Childish foolishness; silly dementia. Suddenly there arises before her fancy a concert which she attended a long time since, as vividly as if she were listening to it; she even imagines she can hear the different instruments; after a time this vivid recollection of the past disappears, and she is no more able to recall the music. An unpleasant sensation, as if he were longing for something without knowing what, with a kind of apprehension, wherewith, however, he was very joyous. Inclination to sing (after half an hour).

Even when out of humor, quiet repetition of a lively melody.

Uneasy, anxious, sad mood. The slightest thing puts her out of humor; she then does not know what she is doing; with anxiety and trembling of the whole body. A slight cause which would usually have made her laugh, now causes a most violent ill-humor, almost rage, so that she frequently loses her consciousness; afterwards she is astonished at this outbreak (fourth day). Indifference to everything. Joy and sadness alternating; with paleness. A joyous mood frequently alternates with a sad one. Vacillating, peevish mood; the slightest cause excites his anger, for which, next moment, he is sorry, which however, soon returns, because his calmness frets him and prevents his exposing his feelings; usually he changes a hard word which he has on his tongue to a mild one, but the latter seems too mild, and he now chooses a more severe word, which he again changes to a still milder one and so on in speech, thought, and action; after several days, in the evening. He takes everything in anger and suddenly repents of having injured others. Great ill-humor; the behaviors of relatives and friends excites her to anger, and she is at the point of permitting an outbreak of passion towards them, but at this moment she feels calm; at the next moment this calmness seems a weakness; she is vexed with herself, and her anger becomes greater than ever; this very unusual vacillation of mood lasts several hours (second day, towards evening). Disagreeable mood; vehement, peevish, quarrelsome; an hour later talkative, lively, laughing, singing. At times she is very peevish, and morose to others, and, next moment, wishes to embrace.
Intellectual.
Disinclination to every work. It suddenly seems, for a moment, as though her thoughts would vanish. The least thing which affects her makes her very thoughtless.

He makes mistakes about the time or about objects, although they are quite clear and distinctly visible (after eight hours).
Great forgetfulness; she asks about something, and next moment entirely forgets that she has done so. Absence of mind and forgetfulness; he does not recognize a person whom he frequently sees; on coming near she seems like one wholly unknown to him; he looks wondering at her, remembers having seen her, but cannot recall her name, and mistakes her for another; only recognizes her after a long time.
