Dear Mr . Rabah
Because your friend, Mr. Safa, having been the way he had been, I would feel somewhat reluctant to ask whether he saw a psychiatrist or neurologist. Anyhow, I would like to note that Mr. Safa seemed to have suffered from a neurological disorder called Tourette’s Syndrome (though this is only a retrospective and a tentative diagnosis). People with this syndrome might feel the compulsion to involuntarily utter obscene words. The technical term for this phenomenon is coprolalia (from Greek, Kopros means ‘dung’: and lalia means ‘talk’). This neurological condition could be associated with the psychiatric disorder of anxiety, which Mr. Safa seemed to have had as well.
I admire your ability to describe in such elegance something, which we, psychiatrists, usually tend to express in a cold, clinical language.
It was obviously so difficult not to have loved such a lively and intriguing person and his death must have been a real loss for you.
Look forward to reading more of your most interesting words.
Best regards
