Publisher's Synopsis
A Practical Treatise on Nervous Exhaustion (Neurasthenia) is a pioneering work in the field of psychosomatic medicine, written by the American physician George Miller Beard. Neurasthenia is a condition characterized by chronic fatigue, irritability, and other symptoms that were thought to be related to the nervous system. Beard's book provides a detailed analysis of the condition, its causes, and its treatment, as well as a broader critique of the medical profession and its lack of attention to the psychological aspect of illness. This edition includes a modern introduction that places Beard's work in the context of contemporary medical practice and scientific research.
