Aberration of Mind - Victorian Health and Medicine
From 'The Dictionary of Daily Wants' - 1858-1859
ABERRATION OF MIND. A form of disordered intellect and incipient insanity,
which fluctuates according to circumstances. This affliction, is the result of a variety
of causes, but frequently arises from excessive application to sedentary occupations,
and an undue exercise of the mental faculties in any one direction. The remedy for this
derangement is moral rather than physical. A certain regimen should be scrupulously
observed; all mental employment abstained from; while change of scene, cheerful
conversation, and harmless amusement may generally be adopted with success.
