PR AUNiinin aries is Be taal Melee See Me BY JACK SCOTT A doctor pal of mine who oc- casionally suggests topics for these columns proposes that I write a few words about ‘The Blues”. Even a glance at the world of local headlines makes it seem a most appropriate subject. “Every medical man will tell you,” says my friend, ‘‘that-self- analysis has become a modern- day problem for all of us. We seem to have entered an era in which a vast number of men and women are overly-sensitive to their moods and turning to Do-It- Yourself Psychiatry that can be very dangerous, “Periods of. depression. which are perfectly normal are too often viewed with grave con- cern,” he went on: “What our fathers passed off as ‘feeling a little out of sorts’ or ‘down-in-the- mouth’ are now foolishly home- diagnosed as warning signals’ of mental disturbances. I get. my share of patients who tell me. in a their inventory of symptoms, that they often wake _ up feeling deep gloom. -‘Well;’: I- ask. them, ‘doesn’t everybody?’ Trouble is, as I see it, that there’s no rhyme or thythm to “The Blues. ” __ Maybe once or twice a week I creep from the wrong side of the bed with a mild case of .what might be called The Dull, Logey Blues. They're not hard to.chase away. A breakfast of ham-and- eggs or a: cheque in, the mail or even akind word will do the trick, The other extreme, which is mercifully rare, is not. nearly so cooperative. For want of a better name I’ll call them the Whither- . Are ~We- ~Drifting Blues. - apparent r reason Be These. may. be brought. on, I've decided, by. physical ae cor. by -mental” fatigue, protracted periods of retten. weather,” or, again, ‘cupational. “for no | Sometimes they’re oc- I guess - everybody gets these when the job isn’t going right. When I was cast for a few years in the unlikely role of executive it dismayed me to find this so common. The most capable, well-adjusted people could be transformed into moody, doleful types and I would have to take them on my knee, so to speak, to reassure them. T suspect that this occupational trauma, which is possibly due mainly to boredom and the: sameness of a. routine, is par- ticularly prevalent - among housewives. The one we happen to have on the premises is the sunny type — sometimes un- bearably so —-.but she, too. has her moments of quiet despair. It has todo, I’m convinced, with the immutability of dust. Whatever the. causes,. the Whither-Are-We-Drifting. Blues are grim and carry a person’s thoughts into dark channes. You can only grope your melancholy way .along hoping to. find the “Exit” sign that you know, by instinct and experience. is somewhere ahead. The doctor says this is alla matter of balance, that the pendulum of life just naturally swings slowly from one ex- treme to the other. The danger is only in wanting an emotional evenness, Most of us struggle against these moods mentally, just as the body struggles against a fever. The extrovert, who has them, too, may seek the. company » of congenial companions and laugh them away. The introvert may seek solitude,the long walk in the woods or along the lonely. beach that so often. puts everything back into focus. But perhaps the real comfort is the knowledge ‘that you're not alone, that what seems such forbidding country is familiar to everyone and that when. the sun shines again it will.seem all the brighter.
