The
characteristic mental symptoms are not only formed at the last stage in the
future generation but our forefathers had infested these symptoms from the very
beginning during the acute stage of a disease. Any physical condition of the
body, be it healthy or unhealthy, has its associated mental condition. We have
observed that different people behave differently in different kinds of fevers.
All the curative activities as well as adjustment to the surrounding by the
brain respond whenever there are some changed conditions. Not only in the case
of diseases, but also during normal living. It even tries to adjust the body
conditions to minute temperature changes of surroundings. During dry summer, it
helps the body to cool down through sweating. Even hunger, thirst, sleepiness
etc are symptoms being produced by the same segment of the brain that create
fevers, pains etc.
The mechanism to determine the act of changed condition is a process to compare
the present body condition with the previous body condition. The present body
condition is readily available to the brain but the blueprint of previous body
condition must have been preserved at some area of the body. Also, the brain
keeps updating the data of previous body condition by replacing it with the
present body condition after a lapse of some critical time intervals. These
critical time intervals are different for different acts of the body.
