Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book details the close relationship between epilepsy and insanity, revealing they're both rooted in the same motor explosiveness of the brain. The author explores the developmental nature of epilepsy, showing that 90% of cases first arise during brain growth and development. Epilepsy is commonly found alongside mental disease, with one-fourth of insane patients in some English counties being epileptic, and 22% of congenitally weak-minded patients exhibiting the condition. The author presents a wealth of data to demonstrate the innate instability of the brain's motor cortex in epileptics, and argues that casual exciting causes, such as fright or shock, are merely indicative of this instability rather than genuine causes. By positioning epilepsy within its broader medical context, this book provides valuable insights into the condition's pathology and its relationship to mental health, offering a deeper understanding of these complex neurological disorders.
