Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Nervous Exhaustion (Neurasthenia): Its Symptoms, Nature, Sequences, Treatment

In reissuing this book I have, besides various other additions, called attention to some of the differential points of diagnosis between neurasthenia and that functional disturbance of the digestive system that we term lithaemia, two conditions demanding methods of treatment radically diverse.

The editor's notes and additions are indicated by brackets pages 85 to 87; 138 to 146; 207 to 212; 236 to 238 and sundry foot notes. A. D. Rockwell.

Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Nervous Exhaustion (Neurasthenia): Its Symptoms, Nature, Sequences, Treatment

Neurasthenia is now almost a household word, and, equally with the term malaria, affords to the profession a convenient refuge when perplexed at the recital of a multitude of symptoms seemingly without logical connection or adequate cause. [The diagnosis of neurasthenia. moreover, is often as satisfactory to the patient as it is easy to the physician, and by no means helps to reduce the number who have been duly certified to as neurasthenic, and who ever after, with an air too conscious to be concealed, allude to themselves as the victims of nervous exhaustion. The doctrine to be taught and strongly enforced is that many of these patients are not neurasthenic, and under hardly any conceivable circumstance could they become neurasthenic. They do not belong to the type out of which neurasthenia is born, either mentally or physically.

Many of them are unintellectual, phlegmatic, and intolerably indolent, and are pleased at a diagnosis which touches the nerves rather than the stomach, bowels, and liver. Instead, therefore, of rest, quiet, and soothing draughts, they need mental and physical activity, less rather than more food, depletion rather than repletion.]
