GM and cib, thanks for these interesting reflections.
You both appear to suggest that there is no aggravation of deep mental disturbance, and the patient begins to recover without a potentially dangerous aggravation.
Hmmm, so when the deepest part of a person is troubled, there is no aggravation of that part, but possibly of less important areas as the disease works its way out...?
Is this what you have observed in practice?
