To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The relapsing tendency of adolescent insanity is to my mind an illustration of the two inherent tendencies in such brains the one to mental recovery and life, the other to mental death. And we notice that the sooner the relapsing tendency stops, the more likely is the former result to occur. It often happens that after a first attack of insanity certain mental peculiarities are left, seen it may be only by the patient's near relations and intimate friends. He is not " quite the same man. " Each... succeeding attack that he has leaves him with more marked peculiarities or weaknesses, until the final irreparable break-down of dementia is reached. You will constantly be asked your opinion of a man who has once been insane, to hold appointments, to accept trusts, to contract marriage, etc. One must frequently give a guarded answer, and this, not only after examination yourself, but after most minute inquiry from disinterested friends who have seen most of him. I find it often more difficult to pronounce a man sane and mentally competent than to pronounce him insane.
