Abstract

The pathology of mental disorders may be roughly divided into two parts, the one belonging to the so-called functional maladies, from which recovery is not unusual, the other that of organic-degenerative types, in which an eventual restoration to mental health cannot be expected. The boundary line between the two forms is not always sharply drawn, inasmuch as cases which apparently begin as a primary form of insanity may, by repetition or continuance, pass over into the second classification. This chapter focuses on general pathology. In particular, it discusses: the boundary lines between degenerative and non-degenerative types of insanity; gross pathology; special pathology; pathology of the cerebral vessels; and syphilitic vascular lesions.
