| Description Of Item | Patient case note from the collection of Thomas Laycock. Patient is unnamed in the note, but a later addition in pencil claims that the patient is Anne Barnes (see DEP/LAT/1/46/5 and DEP/LAT/1/46/6 for more on Barnes). The note details the case of a woman aged 20 who is suffering psychological symptoms such as anxiety, fear of death, and the impulse to utter ‘indecent’ words. The note also appears to describe physical symptoms of the patient’s illness, but much of the handwriting is illegible. |
