Dr. Russell Reynolds on Mental and Nervous Disturbances of Gouty Origin

I.—Mental Disturbances

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

Many cases have come before me in which there was great restlessness; the patient could not be still for a moment; was alternately excited and depressed; slept badly, or not at all; was intensely hysterical, and could not attend to business; while others have complained of failing memory; of want of power of attention; of suicidal thoughts; of intense melancholy; others of sounds in the ears; voices, sometimes distinct, sometimes not; and some or all of these of long continuance; but yet all disappearing under treatment upon the hypothesis I have mentioned. These symptoms often alternate with, or accompany, those which I mention next.
