Lord Montagu Norman, who became Governor of The Bank of England in 1920, consulted Jung in 1913. While the initial symptoms may have been characteristic of manic-depressive illness, Jung's response was a suspicion that Norman harbored general paresis. Jung recommended a period of complete rest and then additional consultation. Lord Norman suffered significant distress following Jung's pronouncement and consulted other physicians, who offered general emotional support. The patient apparently functioned well, in responsible positions, for a number of years following that. Mirwis suggests that Jung's apparently incorrect diagnosis may have been related to Jung's personal distress over his break with Freud.
