What I actually wanted to know was: How does a loss of balance in the consciousness come about? I suppose it happens only in the women.

More easily in the women than in the men but in some of the latter also. What produces the loss of balance is an inability to control the vital movements by the reason and an instability of the vital itself so that it sways from one feeling to another, one impulse to another without harmony or order.
