A delusion of immortality – the dilemma of the Struldbruggs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 June 2014
Abstract
We describe a lady with a history of recurrent psychotic depression, together with a persistent delusion of immortality, which appears to be independent of the depressive illness. It is of interest that this woman is a patient of the hospital founded by Dean Jonathan Swift, who described a people stricken with a similar dilemma of unhappy immortality over 200 years ago.
