Radium bromatum (Rad‑br.)

Radium bromatum (Rad‑br.) appears in 87 rubrics in the repertory. Of these, 7 are single rubrics in which only this remedy appears, and 4 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Delusions, plus Fear, Excitement, Irritability, Company and Mocking. The picture is that of a person who feels misjudged and cast out.

Misjudged and cast out

The Delusions revolve around rejection: the person believes she is not appreciated or is misunderstood and is cast out by others. Added to this are visions of fire in the evening and the idea of a tiger. Anger breaks out when she is neglected or passed over, and excitement can come in explosive attacks.

Mocking and withdrawal

Two single rubrics describe an alternation: aversion to company alternates with biting mockery. This can be read as protection of a wounded sensitivity. Beside it stands a longing for clarity.

Summary

The rubrics yield a vulnerable mind that feels misjudged, answers with withdrawal and mockery and becomes angry when passed over. The small number of rubrics lets the picture be recognized only in outline.
