Book Description
Excerpt from The Problem of Nervous Breakdown The concern alike of doctors, nurses, social workers, care committees, schoolmasters, military authorities, prison officials, and others who have frequently before them questions which can only be efficiently answered in the light of some understanding of its various bearings the problem of nervous breakdown is to-day of great importance. Hence, anyone who has had special opportunities of studying the mind, and nervous system in health and in disorder may well feel desirous of placing his experiences and conclusions before the widest possible circle just now. The kind reception of my earlier work, Nerves and the Nervous - out of print for some time since - has encouraged me to write this book, the purpose of which is to review the problem as it affects the individual and as it concerns the State; to discuss the origin of the more common disorders, and to indicate in what directions it is possible for us to redress the balance in favour of nerve and efficiency. Throughout I have particularly borne in mind the difficulties of the family doctor, the trained nurse, and the anxious relative upon whose shoulders falls the grave responsibility of bringing back those stricken in "nerve" to useful life and work.

Excerpt from Nervous Breakdowns and How to Avoid Them Suddenly they felt a jar, followed by a jerk; the train slowed down, and within ten seconds had come to a standstill. Then there was general commotion, and heads appeared at every window, to see or inquire what was the matter. There was no station in sight, and no signal against them. Yet that train, which a few moments earlier had been speeding along in all its power and pride, had come to a dead stop.

Book Description
Excerpt from Nerves and the Man: A Popular Psychological, and Constructive Study, of Nervous Breakdown It is not necessary at this point to describe, in detail, the various weaknesses, pains, fears, and forebodings which usually accompany nervous breakdown. Its victims know all too well the thousand and one clouds that darken the mind which, like the sea, is the home and mirror of storms of varying kinds and degrees. In taking up a book like Benson's House of Quiet, they instantly recognise a brother in misfortune, in the statement, I found myself disinclined to exertion, bodily and mental, easily elated, easily depressed, at times strangely somnolent, at others irritably wakeful.

Book Description
Originally published in 1934, excerpts from the original preface read: "A Nervous breakdown is a terrifying experience. When it occurs, the patient, his family, and often his friends are panic-stricken. No one knows just what to do with the patient, and the patient is incapable of helping himself. ... What should be done? If you think you have a nervous breakdown, it is your first duty to consult a competent and reputable physician, preferably your family doctor, and get a thorough and complete physical examination. If you cannot find any evidence of physical or organic disease, ask your doctor to recommend a reputable psychiatrist or medical psychologist. ...This is a compact manual of help and self-help." Today this book can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.

Book Description
Excerpt from Nervous Breakdown: Its Concomitant Evils; Its Prevention and Cure, a Correct Technique of Living for Brain Workers These unfortunates are acutely susceptible to any imputa tion on the honesty of their statements and, fearing that none suffer as much as themselves, and obtaining no relief, they gradually sink into the' slough of despond. The heads of such patients never feel just right. Their sleep is disturbed and they feel depressed in the morning. Their memory becomes defective, and they apprehend a loss of reason. Sexual disturbances, indigestion and constipation supervene to add to their misery. They show less endurance and become irritable. There are no objective signs of their suffering, for' their symptoms are wholly subjective. Such cases have beendescribed variously as hypochondriasis, nervousness, brain strain, nervous waste, nervous prostration, nervous exhaustion and nervous breakdown. Physicians designate the symptoms by the Latin word, neurasthenia, which means nerve weakness, and the sufferer is called a newmstlzem'c. It was Beard, of New York, who, in 1869, first directed general attention to a condition marked by irritable weakness, and adopted for it the term neurasthenia. In Europe, it was at first derisively called Beard's disease, or the American disease, and some even referred to it as Americanitis. Herbert Spencer regarded the trouble as essentially American, a view which is decidedly incorrect insomuch as it is a disease of the whole civilized world. Very often the cause of neuras thenia may be resident in some organ of the body. It may be the sexual apparatus, the nose, throat, or digestive tract, hence all neurasthenics should willingly submit to a thorough examination by their physician, for without a removal of the cause, all treatment will prove ineffectual. The strides made in diagnostic medicine have been enormous, and with the wonderful X-rays at our command, who can gainsay the Biblical quotation, For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, and hid that shall not be known. We have medical as well as social fads. To call every disease with nervous symptoms, neurasthenia, is essentially wrong. Neurasthenia is unaccompanied by any tangible evidence of organic disease. Therefore the diagnosis of neurasthenia is only warranted, when, after a systematic and thorough ex amination of the body, no evidence of organic disease can be elicited. A careful examination of the bodily functions is a tedious and painstaking act, and necessitates considerable skill on the part of the physician. Patients coming to the physician for advice and relief do not understand this. They presume that feeling the pulse, looking at the tongue, and tapping the chest constitute the sole diagnostic aids of the physician. The real skill of a medical man lies in his diagnosis of the case. Diagnosis is the goal of a physician's erudition, and justifies the Latin aphorism, He who diagnoses well, cures well.

Excerpt from Nervous and Mental Diseases This is not the joint work of two writers, but each author - Dr. Church in Neurology, and Dr. Peterson in Psychiatry - has con tributed to the making of a single volume what might have made a separate monograph each is, therefore, solely responsible for the work in his own department. In placing the correlated sciences neurology and psychiatry under the same cover, the reader's convenience was considered. An unusual number of illustrations for each department (from the authors' own material, except when otherwise indicated) has been allowed by a generous publisher.
