Diseases of the affections, when the affections, sentiments and desires are preponderatingly alienated, while the intellectual faculties are affected in an inferior or at least a secon- dary degree. (a) Melancholy, the prevalent type being sadness, depression, fear, dread and despair. (b) Phrensy, the prevalent type being mirth, mischievousness, anger. (c) Volatility, (Launenhaftigkcit.) Alternation between the two last mentioned phases. II. Delirium, the sentiments and intellectual faculties aro equally affected, and both the sub- jective and objective relations alike distorted. [a] [b) [e) Characterized by melancholy, phrensy, and the alternation of the two. III. Diseases of the intellect, where the affections take a subordinate part and the intellect is mainly disordered. (a) Partial. (b) General. (c) Debility, including idiocy and imbecility. § 77.
