Sehgal Rubrics

FRIVOLOUS POSITIVENESS EGOTISM MILDNESS REVERENCE for those around him FLATTERER VIOLENT crossed when Objective reasonable Perseverance	In spite of the sickness and weakness that comes with it, he does not let go off the hope that he will regain health soon. Although in low spirits and over anxious about his health he is sure that things would get better. He does not say he is well but will not admit that he has grown weak. He neither hides nor ignores his illness. To him falling sick is a part of life. It is hard to change his ideas or break his ego but he is amendable enough to acknowledge other people and compliment them and be nice to them. He respects others but loses his cool if provoked
Perseverance	One of the problems with this patient is that once he has his mind fixed on one idea it is hard to change it. He could argue and defend his point of view and stick to it stubbornly. For example, if he is convinced that his problem is hereditary or that his body has low immunity it is hard to change his opinion. He says, "Doctor, you believe it or not but I am quite sure that one day I am going to suffer just as my parents did, or with my body's low immunity I am sure to catch a bad disease."
DELUSIONS, injury is about to receive CAUTIOUS, anxious FEAR, failure of	The idea that he is going to suffer from something serious, sticks in his mind and becomes a certainty for him. This produces an ever present fear in him and he begins to take great precaution in his everyday life like - what and how much to eat, how long to sleep or work and so on. • He feels he can do things better than others and prides himself on that. He has a big ego but he is also timid sometimes. One of the reasons for his timidity is his fear of failure. This fear shakes his self- control and makes him feel insecure. So he needs support and encouragement from others which he garners by flattering them and being pleasant to them."
FLATTERER Obstinate	He avoids thinking about the object of his fear. He clings to one thought and cannot change it. He says, Doctor, perhaps you are right, I should change my Way of thinking but my problem is that, I cannot do it. Like this idea stuck in my mind that excessive stress js the root cause of my problem and however hard I try { cannot drive it out. His self-rapprochement about making himself suffer is also to blame for his loss of courage and turning overcautious.
DELUSIONS, wrong he has don
Brain fag, exhaustion, & want of grit - strength or courage to face danger-	This patient does not want to tax his brain too much and so he hates disputes and argument
YIELDING, disposition FEAR, failure of (Sul)	Sil has a WEAK CHARACTER (like Lyc) He has weak personality in all aspects and needs lots of encouragement and courage for performing or doing something. Non-committal - he never say yes. It is straight away "No", he dreads taking responsibility, and always trying to escape it. Character lack: Lacks self-discipline is unsteady and confused in his actions. Sil. Is always scared of failure, which is largely the reason behind his lack of confidence.
PROSTRATION, of mind brain-fag TORPOR	They are firm but with their fear of failure makes them work hard. This brings on complete exhaustion, prostration and brain fag and they are forced to give up the task before it is finished. This is enough to discourage them from trying anymore. ,
EMBARRASSMENT, ailments after FEAR, undertaking, new enterprise, a (Lyc and Sul)	Fears facing people, appearing at social gathering or exams due to brain fag. Although they do well in exams, it leaves them completely exhausted and they have no energy left to do anything more. Lyc. is stupid and he dreads doing anything because of his lack of knowledge. If he is asked to do some work he will be annoyed and curse (sil will not). He hates work and tries to shirk responsibility. Due to his fear Sil dreads starting the new venture in spite of being knowledgeable and full of ideas. This fear makes Sil apprehensive of any new venture.
BUSINESS, worn out, from EMBARRASSED, ailments after	May agree to work out of their egotism but fail to complete it. Sil is easily fatigued by prolonged mental efforts. He says he cannot change his thoughts. It makes him fret about his condition even more and he feels more depressed.
	He needs some courage and support to fight his prostration He has no reliance upon his self confidence and even consolation fails to boost it.
MOOD, repulsive CHARACTER, lack of Caust, Lyc, Puls, Sil	There is another state worth mentioning: I have observed that some patients fail to control their eating habit which causes problems. Because of prostration, he does not want to tax his mind with dietary guidelines and eats as he likes. Another thing about him is if he thinks that avoiding any food types will not make any difference, no one can convince him otherwise and make him control his eating. A patient told me that he strictly avoided salt, since it produced itching in his body but he could not resist it when he sees something delicious in the restaurant. He yields when someone insists saying it won't harm him. Sometime he took it easy thinking once or twice in a week or month won't hurt him. • Sometime when he ran out of patience and thought how long he could stay without salt. When he saw his family go without salt too and give up good food on his account.
