ZINCUM METALLICUM 

Zinc ( zn ) ., being a METAL it has the theme of attack & defense and with an accompanying FEELING OF HAVING COMMITTED A CRIME . They have a tremendous and constant anxiety as if they would be arrested , as if they were pursued by someone ; this is somewhat similar to Cuprum .

They are Restless , Over-sensitive and so Hyperactive , Over-active mind and ideas abundant ; Discontented & complaining , Loquacious ; torments everyone with his complaints ( Ac-nit ) . IRRITABILITY FROM NOISE ( Ferr ) , from talking of others , Crumpling of paper etc ., Fits of anger with weakness afterwards . Mental weakness more in the morning ; Dullness , confusion , slowness in thinking , mistakes in speaking & writing ; REPEATS THE QUESTIONS BEFORE ANSWERING ( Aur ) ; Sadness ameliorated in the evening ; Feels calm when thinking of Suicide ; Superstitious ( Arg-n ., Con ., Rhus-t ., Stram ., ) .

CHILDREN are Restless , Feeble with Weak Memory , Discontented ( Calc-p ., Sanic ., Tub . ) ; Shrieking like a Cow ( Cupr ) , DELIRIUM with Violence , restrained and calmed with great difficulty & desire to escape .
The FEAR of being attacked in Zincum is almost constant and so there is a constant excitement of the nervous system . There is a state of ready alertness which is manifest by the constant twitching , jerking or by the constant restlessness of the Legs . He feels all the while that somebody is after him and this causes the constant restlessness . He is always FIDGETY ; and there is a Fear & feeling as if someone may come from behind anytime ( Merc ) ; this keeps them Alert , Stiff & Tease all the time .

In Cuprum this perceived threat of attack is not continuous , it is intermittent , periodical or in paroxysms ; and sometimes due to the exciting cause . But in Zincum every stimulus excites the Nervous system .

Here , the repressed Emotions can cause Somnambulism and Suppressed anger cause trembling & weakness . After a period of Excitability of the Brain & Tremendous restlessness , the Zincum patient can go to the other extreme , which is tremendous DULLNESS , FAGGED-OUT FEELING such that he cannot even understand a question ; So he repeats questions before answering . He is muddled & Suffers a Brain fatigue ; later he passes on into a state of total Collapse & Coma .

The Zincum patient can be Egoistic but generally comes down in the face of Superior attack ; And like the Cuprum , has the desire to become a high-ranked person , like an Officer or a Policeman . Talking or Listening is distressing ; much talking of other people , even of those of whom he is fond of , affects his nerves and makes him MOROSE .
Tendency to be Docile , but when aroused irascible . NERVOUS PROSTRATION ; waits a moment looking blank or stares , then the face lights up and he answers .
