Person Who "Feels Awful"
To me, one of. the saddest fea
tures about modern medical
practice is that when, as often
happens, a person gets to feel
ing awful, with aches and pains
all over, we doctors are inclined
for a while to try the effect ef
shots of this and that. When
they do not help, and the pa
tient demands a complete . ex
amination, we send him to a
hospital.
After this, if the X-ray man
finds, let us say, a silent and
harmless gallstone, or a silent
diaphragmatic hernia, or some
symptomless colonic diverticula
(little pouches that come like
gray hah" after the age oC 40),
the patient runs the chance of
being operated on and the
chances are against his being
any better for the operation.
Usually Depressed
What ' is ' really wrong ' with
many a person who feels miser
able is that he is depressed,
usually as, was some forebear.
It is unfortunate that rarely
docs such a depressed person,
on coming into a doctor's office,
say, "l am suffering irom a
spell of melancholia, such as I
had in my senior year at cot-
lege." No, he complains about
such tilings as abdominal pain
or feelings' of great toxicity or
of great fatigue or a growing
inability to sleep.
How I wish every ' physician
could read and re-read an ar
ticle written by a psychiatrist
or Spokane,' Wash., Dr. Sol
Levy. I always enjoy what he
has to say., A while ago, he said
that the diagnosis most com
monly missed in America today
is that .of. a depression. .Often
1 am asked, "How did it happen
that some 15 years ago you,
who for 35 years had been an
expert on digestive and ab
dominal diseases, took to writ
ing books -and artloles- on psy
chic and mental troubles?
My answer is that I could not
help it.- So large a percentage
of the patients who came to see
me at the Mayo Clinic com
plaining or indigestion,' abdomi
nal pain, headache or a duo
denal ulcer, turned out to be
worried, unhappy, depressed or
in some way mentally disturb
ed that I just had to study psy
chiatry. There are not enough
psychiatrists available to han
dle a tenth of the people who
need their help,
Same Experience
Dr. T. A. Ross until he died
the most distinguished psychia
trist in Great Britain told me
that he had had the same cx
nerience 1 have' hnH: When in
(lis early years of general prac
tice he found that pcrhans a
third of his patients needed help
with mental problems, ho went
the whole way and specialized
in this field of work. He said he
was glad that he had had no
indoctrination in Freudiiuiism
he eventually obtained all of his
great knowledge of psychiatry
simply By .listening to .the star
ies told him by thousands of
mentally troubled patients,
In Dt Levy's article) he says
that in the cases of patients
with depression, a common
symptom -is an occasional- spell
of fast pulse with a feeling of
"air hunger," of weakness and
of a great - fear t( impending
death. Also they may have se
vere headache, ringing or roar
ing in the ears, indigestion, ab
dominal bloating, constipation,
and in women, menstrual dis
comforts, pains in the abdomen,
itchiness, numbness or burning
sensations.
Insomia may be so severe as
to be almost uncontrollable
Typical Is an early morning
fatigue that wears off during
the day; also the loss of all in
terest in life, and all interest in
sex. Sometimes the person will
say that God has turned away
from him. A woman may lose
an interest in nome, husband
children and friends. She may
indulge in what she calls crying
jags. Most depressed persons
think of committing suicide.
Many fee! oppressed with a
sense of sin. What is often high
ly significant is that a deep de
pression came when the person
had nothing to worry about or
be' sad about. Later, when per
haps a much loved child died,
there was no depression.
Elcctroshock Treatment
In the old days, it often took
four or five years for a depres
sed person to recover. Psy
chotherapy was largely useless
and a waste ot time. Then came
the elcctroshock type of treat
ment,' which as Dr. Levy says,
is still the best available. It
rarely does any harm. There
are a number of antidepres
sant drugs which can be tried
at least for a few weeks. One.
of them may help enouch so
that electroshocks will not be
needed.
Fortunately, even without any
treatment, spells of depression
tend to clear away. Persons who
would like to learn more about
them can read a chapter in my
oook, Minds mat tame Back
stracts of t h e autobiographies
This volume is made up of ab
of 75 people who were once men
tally or nervously troubled.
