A case of this kind, patients sometimes
go on for years before being detected.
1:33:04
You remember, in my last book,
1:33:10
there were some very fine examples,
especially the young nobleman.
1:33:12
Yes, Dr Von Hallor. Very interesting.
1:33:17
It reminds me very much of this one.
1:33:20
It takes so long to detect them,
1:33:23
because their mood changes
so often and so quickly.
1:33:25
Now, Your Honour, may I show you?
May I use the chart?
1:33:29
By all means.
1:33:32
Below here,
they are extremely depressed,
1:33:40
melancholy, impossible to live with
and often become violent.
1:33:43
From this mood, the manic depressive
might gradually change
1:33:48
until they reach this state.
1:33:55
Here is lucidity. Here they are normal,
as normal as you or I.
1:33:59
Assuming, of course,
that we are normal.
1:34:03
Then the mood changes again
1:34:06
until they reach this state,
1:34:10
a state of highest exultation.
1:34:13
Here, everything is fine.
Here, the world is beautiful.
1:34:15
Here, they are so elated...
How to express it?
1:34:19
...they would give you
the shirts off their backs.
1:34:22
How would you say
that applied to Mr Deeds' case?
1:34:26
The symptoms are obvious.
1:34:28
When he was here, on top of the wave,
1:34:31
he felt nothing but kindliness
and warmth for his fellow man.
1:34:34
He wanted to have them around him,
so he decided to give a big reception.
1:34:38
But in the meantime,
his mood has changed.
1:34:42
He's now at the bottom of the wave:
depressed, melancholy.
1:34:45
So when his guests arrive,
he throws them out.
1:34:50
They are now his imaginary enemies.
1:34:53
Other instances of high elations are
1:34:55
when he plays his tuba,
when he writes his poetry,
1:34:58
when he chases fire engines
in a desire to help humanity.
