Suspension of the mental faculties by nervous shock
From Challiber's Journal a case reported by Mr Dunn shows a healthy dress-maker who after river immersion near Lullington Kent suffered sudden stupor. She lost speech, hearing, taste, smell and memory, remaining with only touch and vision. She produced patchwork from debris, learned to cut and sew, but repeatedly suffered fits. Her daily routine collapsed into fixation on tasks as her mind gradually regressed and then reorganized around new, simple skills.

Memory Lost Woman Recovers After Water Fear
A woman who vanished from memory after a shock regains senses gradually in 1844. She shows interest in flowers and animals but fears water, reacting with fits when viewing moving water or a river. Six months after the accident she regains smell and language, recognizing spring flowers and expressing emotions, though she recalls nothing from the prior year. Her lover’s jealousy triggers a relapse but she recovers with no memory of the interval.
