In Act 1, Scene 8, Dan takes Diana to a new doctor, Dr. Madden, who takes her medical history, and she comments that her mother was herself as "high spirited" as she is. Madden comments that sometimes a mental illness can lie dormant for some time, eventually becoming triggered by a traumatic event.
