4-Excerpt from the doctoral thesis of Dr. Peter Kahn cyclothymia (1909)
In its definition of cyclothymia, Peter Kahn explains
" The Cyclothymic is not a lunatic, it is not a perfectly normal person and it is strange, original, bizarre ".
" It is too gay or he is too sad, too restless or inaction strange, too indifferent or concerned with what does not concern him, undecided excessively or too rash in his undertakings. It is still too ... or not enough ... He has no sense of proportion, but not insane. "
"Half the time in the world of people who are considered normal and the patient's vein, cyclothymic belongs to both:" I know I'm in the lobby of madness "we said a of our patients. Is not that a good definition of cyclothymia? "
"So it is very difficult to say which begins and ends cyclothymia originality."
"The excitement when not diagnosed" hysteria ", almost always goes unnoticed; depression instead, alarm around easily. It makes the physician the patient. The label of neurasthenia (...) is usually given but if these problems have worried the family, which therefore would dream about him to be regarded as morbid hyperactivity (...) his demonstrated in its period of excitement? "
" All that we can say is that the cyclothymic aware of his condition, he did not have delusions or hallucinations and, therefore, for these characters, it separates from certain forms and some degree of periodic psychosis.
