Abstract

The group considered in the present chapter consists of affections essentially degenerative in their nature. This group includes both juvenile and paranoid insanity and forms a natural whole, though composed of a number of clinical forms. After discussing the hereditary nature of these mental disorders, the author discusses first the insanity of adolescence, dementia præcox. He describes the symptoms and course of the disease, and differential diagnosis from the simple or hebephrenic form, from the catatonic form, and from the paranoid form. He also discusses prognosis for each form. The author next discusses forms of paranoia, including paranoid hallucinatoria; the hypochondriacal form; the self-accusatory form; the mystic form; and paranoid simplex. For each, he describes symptomatology and disease course; he also gives an overall prognosis of paranoia. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
