Psychasilienia and obsessions

Abstract

The question of obsessive mental states is one of the most interesting questions of modern neuropathology and psychiatry.

A vast area of observations, in their content freely attributable to mental anomalies, however, cannot be attributed exclusively to psychiatry, apparently on the basis that the completely conscious attitude of the patient to his own sensations, understood by him as a morbid state, makes it difficult to speak of him as about the mentally ill in the ordinary sense of the word.
