Elisabeth Jacks was 38 years old and ran a catering service with her second husband, Donald, who was the main informant.
Elisabeth already had two grown children, so Donald could
understand why this pregnancy might have upset her. But she had
seemed unnaturally sad. From about her fourth month of pregnancy,
she spent much of each day tired. Her appetite, voracious during
her first trimester, fell off, so that by the time of delivery she
was several pounds lighter than usual for a full-term pregnancy.
She had to give up keeping the household business accounts, because
she couldn't focus her attention long enough to add a column of
figures. Still, the only time Donald became really alarmed was one
evening at the beginning of Elisabeth's ninth month, when she told
him that she had been thinking for days that she wouldn't survive
childbirth and he would have to rear the baby without her. "You'll
both be better off without me, anyway," she had said.
After their son was born, Elisabeth's mood brightened almost at
once. The crying spells and the hours of rumination disappeared;
briefly, she seemed almost her normal self. Late one Friday night,
however, when the baby was three weeks old, Donald returned from
catering a banquet to find Elisabeth dressed in nothing but bra and
panties, icing a cake. Two other just-iced cakes were lined up on
the counter, and the kitchen was littered with dirty pots and pans.
"She said she'd made one for each of us, and she wanted to party,"
Donald told the clinician. "I started to change the baby – he was
howling in his basket – but she wanted to drag me off to the
bedroom. She said 'Please, sweetie, it's been a long time.' I mean,
even if I hadn't been dead tired, who could concentrate with the
baby crying like that?"
On Saturday, Elisabeth was out all day with girlfriends, leaving
Donald home with the baby. On Sunday she spent nearly $300 "for
Christmas presents" at an April garage sale. She seemed to have
boundless energy, sleeping only two or three hours a night before
arising, rested and ready to go. On Monday she decided to open a
bakery; by telephone, she tried to charge over $1,600 worth of
kitchen supplies to their VISA card. She'd have done the same the
next day, but she talked so fast that the person she called
couldn't understand her. She hung up in frustration.
Elisabeth's behaviour became so erratic that for the next two
evenings Donald stayed off work to care for the baby, but his
presence only seemed to provoke her sexual demands. Then there was
the marijuana. Before Elisabeth became pregnant, she would have an
occasional toke (she called it her "herb"). During the past week,
not all the smells in the house had been fresh-baked cake, so
Donald thought she might be at it again.
Yesterday Elisabeth had shaken him awake at 5 A.M. and announced, "I am becoming God." That was when he had made the appointment to bring her for an evaluation.
Elisabeth herself could hardly sit still when she talked to the interviewer. In a burst of speed, she described her renewed energy and plans for the bakery. She volunteered that she had never felt better in her life. In rapid succession she then described how she was feeling (ecstatic), how it made her feel when she put on her best silk dress (sexy), where she had purchased the dress, how old she had been when she bought it, and to whom she was married at the time.

How does an asthma attack cause difficulty in breathing? Emphysema from smoking and exposure to heavy pollution causes alveoli to expand and rupture. Describe how this would compromise respiratory function. Describe how skeletal muscles are used for inhalation. Use Boyle’s law to explain the process of pulmonary ventilation. Describe how to calculate inspiratory reserve volume. How did your vital capacity compare to your calculated predicted vital capacity? What health and lifestyle behaviors impact your vital capacity? Would a subject hold her or his breath longer after hyperventilating or after hypoventilating? Explain your answer. What changes occur in the body as a person hypoventilates? How does the body adjust respiratory rate and depth to counteract the effect of hypoventilation? Using your current height and gender, calculate your predicted vital capacity but add 5 years to your current age. Then, do the calculation again, but add 10 years to your current age. What changes are predicted in vital capacity as one ages? What do you think the reasons are for these age-related changes?
