Mental problems

Sankaran view

• Cup is the first line of metals in the Periodic Table along with Zinc, Ferr, Nicc, and Mang.
• It is a psoric remedy.
• As with the other metals, Cupr also has the theme of attack, defense and performance.

Threat of attack

• The main feeling of Cupr is that of being attacked. He feels he has to be prepared for a sudden attack and has to attack back.
• This feeling comes in paroxysms in contrast to Zinc which feels attacked continuously. (Cupr ₳ Zinc)
• This is the theme of war, and Cupr has a lot to do with war and armies.
• Delusion of being an officer, a great person, a person of rank, a general.
• Feeling of being attacked and the need to defend is also reflected in his hobbies, which often include the martial arts such as judo, karate, etc. Funnily enough, Cup has the symptom: “Fists are clenched during convulsion”.
• Not continuous but intermittent, occurring suddenly and spasmodically
• Sometimes periodical and sometimes due to an exciting cause. (Cupr ₳ Zinc)
• The cough comes in attacks, anger comes in attacks.
• Children: Fear of being approached; the child cannot bear anyone coming near her and reacts immediately by striking, shrieking, biting, spitting, rage, kicking, attacking with fists, etc.

Fear, approaching him, of others, children cannot bear to have anyone come near them.

Delusion, pursued, police, by.

Delusion, arrested, is about to be.

Grandiosity

• Delusion, general, he is a.
• Delusion, great person, he is a.
• Delusion, officer, he is an.
• Delusion, rank, he is a person of.
• Dictatorial, command, talking with air of.

Performance

• Delusion, he is selling green vegetables
• Delusion, he is repairing old chairs
• These are very ordinary occupations and Cupr needs to be much more than that, he needs to be a general.

Imitating others

• They imitate others, sometimes making fun of others. There is also a certain degree of egotism seen in Cupr. They can be good entertainers as well.
