Dear Nader
Gloomy determination, means that someone is resolutely gloomy—they are firmly gloomy, unshakably, decidedly, and unhesitatingly gloomy – so, in this sense it is ‘set’ and therefore difficult to shift.
To make a ‘determination’ is “The act of making up your mind about something”
The first use/formation (and possibly only one) of the expression ‘gloomy determination’ seems to be in Allens Pure Materia Medica for the remedy Pyrus Americana and it was recorded by prover No. 1 of that remedy.
From what I can see in EH, doing a search of ‘gloomy determination’ other instances of this as an expression are only from the original Allen’s offering.
Doing a search in EH for ‘gloomy’ on its own, reveals only 7 remedies represented, and all of these can be found under the rubrics ‘Sadness’ and the smaller rubric of ‘MIND, Sadness, gloomy’, all the remedies in this are found in the larger rubric of SADNESS.
The silly thing is that the only remedy that was given that expression ‘gloomy determination’, is missing from the larger rubric of SADNESS, gloomy.
Seems to me that someone has made a specific rubric for nothing! And considering I have just spent time looking at it, which is in a sense wasted time now that one can see there is no real distinction to be found, I would think that this small rubric could be dropped without any great loss to the whole setup.
It is likely that there are many rubrics like this, that could be removed – if this was done, then maybe homoeopathy would end up being more user friendly and less esoteric and confusing due to these silly inconsistencies etc.....

Dear Shanon and Dr. Moeini,
Thanks a lot for answers. I have sent the question to archibel team and the only answer was:

MIND - DETERMINATION - gloomy
Agar.k Bar-c.sf1.de calc.k Calc-p.k cupr.a1 des-ac.jl3 Phos.k pyrusa1,c1 vip.a1
I see that there are Kent author references.
This is strange because I did not find "Determination - gloomy" in Kent.
In Kent: MIND - GLOOMY refers toMIND - SADNESS.
In our Synthesis: MIND - GLOOMY refers to MIND - SADNESS - gloomy.
So what is the original rubric?
Kind Regards,
NAder
