The mental picture of Lilium tigrinum is dominated by an intense conflict between sexual desire and moral-religious repression. The individual is overwhelmed by irritability, hurriedness, anxiety, and guilt, particularly around perceived sinful or impure thoughts. [Hale] described the mind as “alternating between exaltation and depression,” often accompanied by a sense of deep inner struggle.

There is a hurried, fidgety restlessness—she rushes around, tries to do many things at once, and forgets everything. Anxious, as if something dreadful is about to happen. Desires to pray constantly, yet believes she is beyond redemption. [Kent] noted a “constant struggle between desire and duty.” The woman may feel that her sexual organs are controlling her, with excessive focus on the pelvic region. Emotional outbursts, weeping fits, and fear of insanity are frequent.

Religious delusions are common: she believes she has sinned beyond forgiveness, or that she is possessed. Feels compelled to perform religious acts, yet is tormented by sexual thoughts. Hysteria and emotional volatility alternate with deep despair.

Headaches are often congestive, with a sensation of weight, pressure, or fullness, especially in the forehead or temples. Worse in the afternoon and from heat. Pain may alternate sides, or be accompanied by blurred vision. Dull, heavy ache as if the head were pressed down. Head feels hot, with flushed face and cold feet. [Hering] reports headaches from uterine congestion or suppressed menses.
