At other times these patients may be obsessed with the sufferings of people around them. They seem to collect information on all varieties of accidents and tragedies, especially cases of cancer. After listening to these people for a while, one is struck by the fact that they speak of nothing but tragedies.

31. Agaricus muscarius
Agaricus patients, despite their fear, do not have an aversion to visiting or even helping patients who are dying or very ill with severe disfiguring or horrifying conditions. Agaricus patients seem to be able to cope with horrible diseases and will even go to the home of a suffering person to help with his care.

32. Agaricus muscarius
This preoccupation with death and disease has another facet, namely an absorption in all kinds of different morbid thoughts.

Another aspect of this spookiness is that these patients possess a striking tendency for "out-of-the-body" experiences.

MIND - INJURING himself - frenzy causing him to injure himself

When mentally sluggish, the patient can reach a state in which he looks almost stupid and is indifferent to his surroundings in general.

Another aspect of Agaricus children is described by J. Metzer in his Materia Medica: "Nervous excessive liveliness of children with mental and motoric restlessness, they laugh, sing, dance and run about in a boisterous manner... With their great restlessness and fidgety nature these children become a real trial for their parent's patience. When playing they are wild, boisterous and incredibly agile; in spite of the talent they possess, they are poor achievers at school due to their flightiness. These children have no perseverance due to their mental and physical restlessness, they slip from one thing to the next and and show no concentration whatsoever. Because of their fidgeting they are clumsy with their hands and drop things. When lying in bed they move their bottom rythmically or roll their head. In the treatment of chorea I always found Agaricus the most reliable remedy. Agaricus children are frequently subject to bed-wetting, particularly after lively play or excitement..."
