Reproaches himself

The above feeling is common in some patients who blame themselves for their depressive problem and tell the doctor it is due to their own mistake, error, or negligence that they are suffering today. Rubrics which can be referred for this cause of depression:

DELIRIUM; blames himself for his folly (1): op	Folly: Foolish act, a stupid mistake. A patient comes and says, "I waited a long time for the problem to disappear. Now I am realizing that it was foolishness on my part to do so, as the problem has grown three folds	What is the point of stupidity here? The point of stupidity is to keep on ignoring even when the problem has grown two folds. For example, a patient knows that drinking even a glass of wine would bring suffering, and they try their best not to drink it. But one day when they visit a party, someone offer them wine or upon seeing the wine they thought of taking a half glass of wine. Next day, they suffer and that time it comes to their mind it was stupid on their part to do so.

DELUSIONS; succeed; cannot; he does everything wrong (8): adam, anac, arg-n, nur, bapt, germ, nat-c, salx-f.	Succeed: To prosper, to obtain the object desired. What is the need of the patient to come and say, "I have a feeling that what I do everything wrong and cannot succeed in life."	This feeling could be there in a normal human being too, but as a patient it puts a lot of pressure in the mind of a patient due to which it takes away the charm of working hard or no desire for competition or always has a fear to start anything new. From where this feeling of doing everything wrong and he cannot succeed is getting originated? It gets originated after repeated failure, thus losing a great amount of money, respect or confidence of others. It could be related to anything not only work, but also managing the relationship, family welfare, or exams. What is the impact of it?

No desire for business

It has been seen that, during the sick state, a patient has no desire to work. They remain indifferent towards their income. They do not care how they are going to manage their finance and those dependent upon them. They may get agitated when asked to do something. Some patient has a feeling towards their business/ work/duty, but sometimes the body does not cooperate and sometimes mind. Rubrics which can be referred for this cause of depression:

BUSINESS; averse to (44): acon-1, agar, am-c, anac, androc, am, ars, ars-h, asar, aur-m, brom, chin-s, cimic, con, cop, fl-ac, graph, hipp, kali-ar, kali-bi, kali-br, kali-c, kali-i, kali-s, lac-ac, lack, laur, lil-t, lyc, mag-s, nat-ar, nat-c, nux-v, opun-a, ph-ac, phyt, puls, rhod, rhus-t, SEP, stann, sulph, syph, ther.	On the contrary both are in the rubric BUSINESS talks of. So how could it possible that one time same patient is showing concern for business and other time they are neglecting it. This teaches us that we should not carry drug pictures in the mind, rather use the rubric to their merit.	Op An Op patient has no issue till things are under their limit. So they can neglect it. For example, a patient who is sick for the last 2 days, due to which they are not able to perform their business. It does not going to bother them. Till this state they are neglecting it. But on the 3rd day when the problem does not getter, they start feeling concern about the business. On the same day they think of visiting the doctor, as they realize that it is already two days gone without any income and if it continues to be like this then they suffer more loses. On the 3rd or 4th day when the visit the doctor, they say, "Doctor, please see that, I should get better by today evening or maximum by tomorrow morning, as I have not attended my business for the last couple of days, which is the only source of my. income and survival, and if I will not attend it tomorrow then my loses are going to increase."	Sul A sulphur patient keeps on working even if the problem is severe. This patient says," Doctor, I have to work, as I cannot afford to lie in bed." This patient is not going to relax till they have strength to do so. This they could do because of perseverance. Sul patient must work due to the fear of poverty. Then what makes them to neglect the business? It is when they feel that there is no strength left in the body that they need to relax. That time they can neglect their business, as they think that at present they have some money in the bank or home, and with that they can survive for some days. DELUSION wealth imagination of: So with the feeling of wealth a Sul patient could neglect their business. DUTY; aversion to domestic (4): cench, cit-1, falco-p, sul-i.

A patient may come and say, "Doctor, I was always looking after my responsibilities and make sure that I must fulfill them no matter how busy or how difficult it was for me. But after the sickness I have lost the feeling to fulfill my responsibility, like earlier I would visit my parents every week and buy some fruits and vegetables for them, but now I do not have such a feeling.
