Extract

It is a matter of common observation that dementia præcox, in common with many other forms of dementia, pursues a very chronic course. In fact, the slow progress of the process is one of its outstanding features. In most cases of dementia præcox, no matter how sudden and acute the onset may be, the tendency is for this to subside after a varying period of time.
