Involutional

Initially operations were performed on a majority of patients with affective disorders, i.e. various types of depression, such as involutional depression, agitated depression and so on. ❋ Unknown (1998)

For example, in the old days, which is to say before the DSM-III, doctors talked about manic-depressive illness, in which patients alternated between those two poles; involutional psychotic reaction, a condition of delusional guilt and self-loathing that came on in middle age; and depressive neurosis, the garden-variety unhappiness that psychoanalysts treated in the Freudian heyday. ❋ Gary Greenberg (2010)

Over the years, the condition has been called many things, including manic-depression, circular insanity, and involutional melancholia. ❋ Judith Lederman (2003)

This similarity is of interest in connection with other evidence, recently brought to light, [1] showing that involutional melancholia is closely related to manic-depressive insanity, if not identical with it. ❋ Grace Helen Kent (N/A)

We have not observed in our cases of _involutional melancholia_ any undue tendency to give individual reactions. ❋ Grace Helen Kent (N/A)

We have here cases that are more or less closely allied to the paranoid form of dementia præcox, other cases that are apparently dependent upon involutional changes (Kraepelin's _praeseniler Beeinträchtigungswah_), still other cases that are characterized by absence or at least delay of mental deterioration, etc. ❋ Grace Helen Kent (N/A)

This work seemed to show that the most characteristic (non-coarsely-organic) cases of involutional origin were much given to delusions (each of 24 cases studied), somewhat more so than to the hypochondria and melancholia which we commonly ascribe to the involution period. ❋ Unknown (1916)

b. mood (involutional psychotic depression): I have been much moved when I witnessed withdrawn, self-dirtying patients, crying out that they deserved to die, totally free of symptoms and back at work ( "feeling great"), following as few as four to six (under anesthesia) electro-convulsive treatments. ❋ Kursar, Thomas A. (1983)

The child psychiatrist took a family history and seemed especially interested in hearing about my husband’s father, who had been diagnosed many years ago with something called “involutional melancholia.” ❋ Judith Lederman (2003)

Affective disorders - all states where the patient’s mood is higher (manic or hypomanic states) or lower than normal, that is, various kinds of depression, for instance, involutional depression in old people with signs of ageing. ❋ Unknown (1998)

[You are] [such a] [tryhard]. You are such an Involute! ❋ Yohndafohn (2022)

This government led [involution] that plagues our people today is ruthless in [convincing] society that they always need to work harder and compete harder, against our own neighbors, to meet the high [expectations] that were set for us – it’s killing us. ❋ Yohndafohn (2022)
