Z. I. Ivanov. Mania transitoria alcoholica (from the Vladikavkaz Military Hospital). Psychiatry, Neuropathology and Expert Psychology Review. 1901, May

In the described case, the patient, a habitual drunkard, who was given over to frequent alcoholic excesses, developed organic changes in the nervous system. On the basis of a painfully altered nervous system, he developed attacks of mental disorder that suddenly appeared, lasting 3-4 hours and ending with recovery after deep sleep. These attacks were accompanied all the time by frivolous actions, reaching to violent impulses and extremely destructive aspirations for dimming consciousness, so that the patient did not have the slightest recollection of the events that occurred during the attack.
